The story begins in the 1940s when Cousteau, played by Lambert Wilson, embarks on his first oceanic expedition with a hand-built diving suit. The film highlights his determination and relentless pursuit of his dream to open up the mysteries of the sea to the world. Cousteau's expeditions take him to various parts of the world, including the Mediterranean, the Red Sea, and the Amazon rainforest.
As his fame and accomplishments increase, tensions arise within Cousteau's personal life. He finds himself torn between his all-consuming love for the ocean and his responsibilities towards his wife Simone, brilliantly portrayed by Audrey Tautou, and their two children, Philippe and Jean-Michel. Cousteau's dedication to his work often leaves him distant from his family, leading to conflicts and personal sacrifices that he must eventually confront.
The film also explores the challenges and environmental implications of Cousteau's work. He witnesses firsthand the devastating effects of pollution and exploitation of natural resources in the oceans, leading him to become an advocate for marine conservation. Cousteau's films and books inspire generations to appreciate the beauty of the ocean and to protect its delicate ecosystems.
