In short: While many believe the Mediterranean has lost its top predators, this expedition explores a protected marine reserve off the coast of Corsica to document a rare biological resurrection.

The film enters a strictly protected 'forbidden zone' where the ecosystem has remained largely undisturbed for decades. It captures a rare glimpse of a thriving marine environment, documenting everything from the surface activity of 330lb Bluefin Tuna to the recent rediscovery of deep-sea sharks.
