Off the coast of Cannes, a fragile underwater garden struggles to survive. Threatened by intense nautical activity, the Posidonia meadows are being torn up and doomed to disappear. To preserve them, a team of divers spends long hours beneath the surface, replanting fragments of Posidonia oceanica, whose survival is hanging by a thread, giving them a second chance. This documentary retraces not only this ecological restoration mission, but also the human adventure it generates: a deep commitment, a shared resilience, and a strong bond forged beneath the surface. A story of dedication, fragility… and rebirth, leaf by leaf.
