יצירת זן בודהיסטית, שופעת בשלווה ושלמות ההופכת את הנוף הפסטורלי לשותף פעיל בסיפור. הדמויות השמימיות עוצרות הנשימה נסחפות אל תוך רצף מעגלי שתחילתו מאופיין בתמימות, המשכו באהבה וסופו בהארה ולידה מחדש. היצירה הבנויה מחילופי עונות, מעבירה אותנו את מסלול הכרוניקה הידועה מראש של לידה ומוות.

פעם, במקום רחוק מאוד, היו שתי ארצות. העולם התחלק שם לארץ פנימית וארץ חיצונית. אנשים חששו מהארץ החיצונית. היא הייתה מאוכלסת ביצורים מפחידים, נושאי הקללה. יום אחד על הגבול שבינהן, יצור אחד שכזה מצא ילדה על ערימת גופות נטושות. הילדה אומרת ששמה שיווה ומגלה חיבה ל-"הוויה" שמצאה אותה, וקוראת לו "המורה". זהו סיפור של שני אנשים, האחד אנושי, והאחר אינו, המתאר בנקודה זו את הדמדומים המעורפלים המפרידים בין לילה ליום.

As well as providing the subject for Luc Besson’s The Big Blue, Jacques Mayol did more than anyone to establish the sport of free diving to enormous depths without an oxygen supply. Using breathing techniques derived from yoga, he went to 50, 60, and even 100 meters—depths no one had considered to be within the bounds of human possibility. Mayol was a sportsman, a mystic, a vagabond, but above all, a man who believed in testing the limits of experience. This visually stunning tribute shows a man’s quest to be at one with the vastness of the ocean and to have no fear of the abyss within, where lurks serenity, freedom and finally, death.
