É o único lugar onde um homem chamado Jacques Mayol realmente se sente em casa. É o mar - a "Imensidão Azul". Jacques e Enzo são amigos desde a infância e compartilham uma paixão pelo esporte perigoso do mergulho livre. O mergulhador profissional Jacques optou por seguir os passos de seu pai, que morreu no mar quando Jacques era um menino.

Not just another documentary on the French resistance movement, this film focuses on one particular group of underground fighters in France: those from Eastern Europe.

But the most famous of these immigrants were 23 who were rounded up among several hundred Parisians in 1943, tried for their activities, and executed -- all were immigrants under the leadership of the Armenian poet Manouchian.
