NETFLIX PRESENTS

INSPIRED BY REAL EVENTS

Lophiiformes.

Anglerfish.

Bluntnose sixgill sharks.

Macropinna microstoma.

Barreleyes.

The giant squid, Architeuthis dux.

All these creatures
are capable of surviving

in depths extending
far beyond the epipelagic zone

and any sunlight.

So how can these creatures
adapt to such depths?

They are survivors of the sea.

There is a microlayer on the surface of
the ocean that moves between sea and sky.

DIVISIONS OF OCEANIC ENVIRONMENT

It is simultaneously both and neither.

Every known life form exists
in relation to this microlayer.

Above it,
the world of land, air, sunlight.

Below it, the world of water,

the world of depth, and pressure.

The deeper that you go,
the darker it gets, the more hostile.

At around 30 meters, the alveoli
in your lungs start to contract,

leaving you with only a portion
of the air you inhaled at the surface.

The massive amount of water pressure
bearing down on you would be excruciating.

And should you go deeper,
your lungs would cease to function,

killing you on the spot.

Have a good week, everyone.

CONFERENCE
FREEDIVING CLASS

BY THE 2015 WORLD CHAMPION
PASCAL GAUTIER

Is that you, sweetie?

Yeah.

You know, you could sit while you eat.

You stopped going.

-You're not going anymore?
-Well, I don't need her.

According to who? According to you or her?

Mom, don't. I don't wanna talk about it.

You never want to.

-We need to discuss it. It's important.
-Well, later. I have schoolwork.

-Maybe later.
-Later, it's always later! Tell me when!

Seriously.

MOM
I WON'T BE THERE THIS WEEKEND

I'M STAYING WITH A FRIEND
LOVE YOU

Excuse me! Wake up.

Come on, get up. Let's go!

You can't sleep on the beach.
This isn't some hotel.

There's a youth hostel nearby.
This isn't actually a bed.

-You speak English?
-Uh, yes.

I'm here for the diving class with Pascal.

We get a bunch of kids sleeping
on the beach, so I thought that…

Was the youth hostel full, then?

I'm not sure.
I spent all my money on the course.

I'm glad.

Sorry, I'm Tom, one of the instructors.

You want a coffee?

Yeah, okay.

PORQUEROLLES, MAY 2016

Freediving isn't about how long
you can stay underwater without breathing

or how deep you can go
while holding your breath.

It's about the experience down there.

The peace.

The tranquility.

In fact, most of my course is focused on

how to be in the best state of mind
before you dive.

You need to be at peace
in order to know the limits of your body.

There are three golden rules.

Number one…

Anybody?

Never dive by yourself, okay?

You always gotta freedive with a partner,
with another safety diver. Yeah?

Two. Don't try to dive down as deep
as possible because it's dangerous.

And pointless. Okay?

And the third one?

Just stay calm, relaxed,

zen.

-All right.
-Well.

Everyone take a deep breath with me.

And let the breath go.

And get rid of all of your frustrations,
all your anger.

All your fears.

Here he is, the maestro himself!

World champion, world record holder,

although he's not quite
as good-looking as I am.

I give you Pascal Gautier!

Hi, everyone.

I'm glad you're here.

A big part of what stands
between you and success

is your fear.

So you'll need to learn
how to handle this fear.

To control it.

This is what will enable you
to go beyond your limits.

And I promise you that after today,

you're going to have a different feeling.

A new connection with the ocean.

A new strength and a new sensation,
a new power.

And then,
you'll wanna sign up for the next level.

I promise.

All right, here we go,
everyone in the water.

Nice work. You're doing well.

You need to block your air around your
glottis and throat, not your lips, okay?

Don't release any air. Not even a bit.

Not until you're sure you're actually
going to breathe again.

Each movement is a waste of energy.
So don't waste it.

Stay calm.

Trust your teachers.

Trust your instincts.

Everyone, listen up! Take a look
at how he's moving to go lower.

Watch what he does!

How far can he go?

Pascal is special.
He can do 80, 100 meters, no problem.

What makes him so special?

It's mainly his ability to stay calm.

It's what I said earlier. He's focused.
You need to stay calm down there.

He's also developed
an extraordinary threshold for pain.

The difference between
great divers and the rest

is the ability to endure that pain.

How long has he been down there for?

Around two minutes.

Thanks again.

Keep it up,
be ready for a challenge, okay?

-Did you have a good time?
-Yeah.

-See you all tomorrow.
-Okay, see you tomorrow.

-Hey, thanks.
-Hey.

-See you.
-Thank you.

-Do you know where you're staying?
-Uh, no, not yet.

Not on a beach chair, I hope.

Why not?
It's nice sleeping under the stars.

Thank you for today. I learned a lot.

-You had me fooled.
-With what?

-You've dived before.
-Not really.

I went spear fishing with my grandpa,
but that's different.

Not really. It all started with that.

You should stick with it. You're good.

I'd like to.
But it's not really in my budget.

Hey, Tom, where are you going?

-I'm here!
-Well, come help us.

All right.
Come meet me and the team tonight.

I'll help you find a place to sleep.

I'm friends with the guy
at the youth hostel.

-Okay.
-Okay?

I'll shoot you a message.

Coming.

-Seriously, we need your help.
-Okay, okay!

-Hey!
-Come on!

These guys get there
with six bottles of vodka.

They were huge, big Russian guys,
like a Bolshevik reunion or something.

-This little French guy with them.
-No way!

He looked like Asterix,
with this creepy mustache, yeah?

But yeah, anyway, they show up
with this Russian girl, and oh, man.

Look, you girls are Champions League,
but, uh…

she was World Cup, so…

I love you guys.
So, we get the party started.

Nothin' but shots, shots, shots.

I down one, two, three.
This guy was holdin' his own, man.

Holdin' up the table, the bar, the walls.
He was a beast!

I knew we were done.
But shit, we drank so much.

Bretons, Normans, whatever,
not one of them could keep up.

But now…

Well, now you gotta tell us
how it ends.

-Hey.
-Hey.

Uh, Roxana, everybody.

-Everybody, Roxana.
-Hey.

-Hi, everyone.
-Welcome.

-Hi.
-How's it going?

-Roxana, from class today.
-What? I know.

He's lying, he doesn't know.

Don't wink at me, all right?
I do remember.

You've got a nerve, you bastard.

Uh… Right, Well, then, anyway.

So the guy shows up
with this Russian girl,

and she's been looking at me
from the start.

This one guy's watching me. We're losing,
but I am focused on the Russian girl.

So did you beat them?

These dudes started drinking vodka
when they were children.

-What are you gonna do? I mean, no.
-You can't outdrink Russians.

We all ended up in jail in Athens.

It was a bit of Prison Greek!

-Oh! Prison! Prison Greek, okay!
-Guys, guys, guys.

This is the time for bad jokes, guys.
This is it.

I love it when you're like this.

Na zdarovie to all the Russians!

-And Greeks! All right!
-Na zdarovie to the Greeks!

-Na zdarovie to the Greeks!
-But it's true. It was insane!

I bet.

Of course that whore
put a curse on me!

I told you she was meeting with shamans!

She cursed me in Russian!

Oh, man.

I got the moves. My skin is tingling.
I just wanna go dance.

Everything okay here?

-You start the party already?
-Wanna join?

Asshole!

-What a fucking asshole. Unbelievable.
-But… Anna!

Come back!

Just can't help yourself.

You were saying?

Well, uh…

Here's to love.

And to sex.

-Kevin, know Russia?
-Cheers.

-Military secret.
-Military secret? Seriously!

-Yeah!
-He won't talk about it!

"From birth, man bears the weight
of gravity on his shoulders."

"He is bolted to the Earth."

"But man only has to sink
below the surface…"

"And he is free."

You like Cousteau?

A lot. He's one of my mentors.

Come on.

Now show me what you've learned.

You're not bad.

What? For a girl?

For a Parisian.

Stéphane.

Can you look after Roxy?
Show her a few things?

Shit.

-Don't let me get in your way.
-You're already here.

If it were up to me,
I'd never let a rookie join us.

But it's not my decision.

Besides, it's always the same with him.

Just watch and learn.

-Did he tell you what he's doing today?
-Yeah. A practice dive, right?

That asshole.

Yeah, just practice.

He's doing 172 meters.

That's two meters deeper than
the current world record for no limit.

Oh shit.

No one's gone that deep before.

Except in a submarine.

Is it dangerous?

All no limit dives are dangerous.
Especially for a new world record.

-You know what no limit is?
-No.

You're hooked to a sled
that takes you into the depths.

To get back up, you inflate a lift bag,
it fills with air, and pshht.

You come back to the surface.

There are many other categories.

CNF, CWF, static.

Uh, CN what?

CNF.

Constant Weight No Fins.

WF, With Fins.

So it's with or without fins.

-And he's using this?
-This is the sled.

This thing takes him down.

And this brings him back up.

We'll check everything before he dives.

The diving tank. The pony tank.

The release. The lift bag.

The lift cord and the pressure valve.

We check everything
multiple times before a dive.

And that… that guarantees
he gets back to the surface.

There's no room for error.

Unless he pisses us off, then…

No, I'm kidding.

Uh.

The connection's fine.

Everything's good. Perfect.

Okay, so, uh…

This takes the diver down,

and then you wait for him down there
in case something happens?

Yeah, more or less.

There are divers every 40 meters.
That makes eight of us.

And a medic.

I'm at the bottom,
and after he comes back up, I wait.

I have to decompress in stages for three
hours before I get back to the surface.

All right. All right, 30 minutes
for the dive team. Thirty minutes!

-Okay!
-Thirty minutes!

And what if he passes out down there?

All blackouts happen 20 meters
before the surface.

He might get nitrogen narcosis.
It's like being drunk underwater.

Some divers lose function
when they reach the bottom.

So Pascal needs to do four things.

Number one, he gives us an okay.

Two, he grabs the lift bag.

Three, he twists the valve,
releases the pin, and goes up.

He's going through
18 pressure atmospheres. That's big.

His lungs are the size of an orange
down there.

And if there's a problem, I can't
give him any air. His lungs would explode.

Safety meeting! Everyone, let's go!

All divers, state your name
and depth position.

Jacques, surface safety.

Mathieu, deep safety diver, at 40 meters.

Alain Calmette, emergency rescue.
Surface team.

Loïc, safety Trimix diver, 172 meters.

Thierry, deep diver, 40 meters.

9:42!

Tom, safety Trimix diver. 172 meters.

-Three minutes to immersion.
-Three minutes!

Okay!
Thirty seconds to dive.

Five, four, three,

two, one, go!

110 meters.

140 meters.

172 meters.

Here he comes!

110 meters!

100 meters!

Here he is!

-I'm okay.
-Yeah!

-Whoo!
-Yeah! All right!

Yeah!

-All right!
-Yeah!

-Yes!
-Whoo!

-Yeah!
-Yeah!

-All right! Let's go!
-Whoo!

Mathieu?

Shit, Mathieu? Mathieu!

-Where's Mathieu?
-Hey!

-Go!
-Go! Go! Go!

Where is he?

We have to go!

I'm calling for help.

Mayday, mayday!

This is the Ketos.
We need emergency medical assistance.

A diver hasn't come up.

Our location is 40° 00' 02" North,
6° 13' 38" East.

-Hurry, hurry, hurry!
-Watch his head.

-Bring him up.
-Hold his head up. Mathieu!

-Here we go.
-Careful. Help me lift him.

-Let's get him up.
-Hold his head.

Okay.

-Squeeze my hand. Can you hear me?
-Harbor master, Ketos.

We have an unconscious diver on board,
he's completely unresponsive.

-We need emergency help!
-Roger that, Ketos.

-Aren't you a first responder?
-Sending help.

What happened?

-Shit! He's in cardiogenic shock!
-I need to do something!

-He's not breathing. There's no pulse.
-Damn it.

Get him to a hospital!

-Sacha! First aid, damn it!
-Okay, keep going.

Where is the harbor master?

-Thierry, did you see what happened?
-We gotta get him to shore.

Here, toss me that, will you?

Excuse me.

Now, you were
on the boat, correct?

Yes, I was.

Okay, guys.

Let's unload, and then we have to make
a statement at the police station.

Yeah? And tell them what?

That he shouldn't have been at 40 meters
because he was a rookie?

Then why'd you say it was fine?

So did you.

-It was an accident.
-Exactly, it was an accident.

A horrible accident.

That we should have prevented.

Everyone here knows the risks, okay?
And he wasn't just your friend.

Stéph!

I'm sorry, okay?

It's the stress.
And I'm angry too. He was my friend.

And a good diver.

You hear me?

A good diver.

Don't worry, I'll say whatever you say.

I'd like us to take a moment.

We lost a friend yesterday.

A member of our family.

Mathieu loved this work.

He was conscientious.

Applied himself.

And he was passionate,
just like all of us.

Despite that, he knew the risks.
He accepted them.

I don't wanna speak for him.
But he'd want us to continue.

If you all agree,
I think we should go for the record.

And we'll do it for Mathieu.

But we need another safety diver
at 40 meters.

Shit, okay. All right, I'll do it.

Okay, great.

Thanks, Jacques.

We need a surface diver.

Okay.

Um…

I can do it.

Hey!

Are you crazy?

You did okay yesterday, but you don't
become a safety diver in two days.

This is bullshit.

I think she's more than capable.

She's talented.

And has great instincts.

Pascal. Hey.

Let's ask the rest of the team
what they think.

Then we'll decide all together.

Well, I also think she can do it.

She's good.

She's held longer than five minutes,
no problem.

She shouldn't be in the water, regardless!

Tom!

She has a gift, Stéphane.

Tom.

She knows first aid.
And she won't be alone.

No one else, huh?

Go fuck yourselves, all of you.

Stéphane's right.

-This is too fast.
-We need someone, don't we?

Do you think you could
learn the procedure quickly?

If you teach me, I can.

I've been diving since I was little.
I'm first aid certified.

Okay. So, who's in favor?

You should go back to school.
To your life.

No, I was serious.
I want to be a part of the team.

And be away from your family?

And school?

I've decided.

You should go back to school.

I said no, all right?

Okay.

So you stay for this competition.

Then what?

Well, that's up to you.

See. He's losing his air.

That means he fainted. Blackout.

Vice grip. Cradle the back of the neck.

Protect the airways. All right?

Remove his mask. Try to wake him up.

Breathe, breathe, Pascal, breathe.

He's not responding.
Put your hand on his mouth. Mouth to nose.

Blow hard.
Remove your hand each time. All right?

And if he doesn't come to,
boat and oxygen.

Vice grip, okay? Roxy!

Pascal, breathe. Pascal, just breathe.

Freediving is serious.
You know what I mean?

That's why we implement all
of the rescuers, the gestures, and all.

You need to know everything,
have everything under control,

-You got that?
-Okay, yeah.

-If you're cold, signal this.
-Mm.

-If you're tired, signal "I'm done."
-Like this, you mean?

This means, "It's over, end of the event."

AIDA WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP
PORQUEROLLES AUGUST 2016

Pascal Gautier.
No limit world record attempt,

172 meters.

Two minutes to official top.

Thirty seconds to dive.

Thirty seconds.

Thirty seconds!

Safety team three, let's go down!

I'm okay. I'm okay!

Pascal Gautier, 172 meters!

Whoo!

Amazing!

New world record: 172 meters!

No, I'm telling you, I'm fine.

You're lying.

Where are you?

I met someone.

I see.

You met a man.

-And so, uh?
-No, Mom, it's…

-It's serious.
-What are you saying? Are you pregnant?

No, I'm not pregnant.

Um…

But, uh… I'm not going back to school.

Not right now, anyway.

And, um…

Who is this man? What's he do?

Well, his name's Pascal Gautier.

He's a freediver.

He's a world champion.
He runs a diving school.

He travels all over for competitions.

And he wants…

He wants me here with him.

So, you're telling me
you're quitting college

and abandoning all of your plans
for some guy you met five minutes ago?

Mom, I knew
that you would react like this.

Why can't you be happy for me for once?

This is what I want.
He is my plan. A life with him.

I want you to look out
for yourself, Roxana.

And I want you to take care of yourself.

Look Mom, I have to go.
People are waiting for me right now.

Wait--

-Know the capital of Australia?
-Yeah, Canberra.

Aaah!

-Shit!
-Do you know the capital…

-What?
-Stéphane, play!

-Stop acting all shy over there!
-Do you… So, do you know the capital of…

Ouagadougou! Burkina Faso!

Fuck you.

Don't listen to these idiots.

Damn it.

Alexi Sobiesky set a new record.

-Oh, fuck.
-No, no way.

-He did.
-Let me see that.

Oh yeah. 174 meters.

Who did?

Sobiesky.

Look we'll go for it again, Pascal.
That's what records are made for.

Russian guys mean Russian babes.

They do.

I love it. I love it!

-Show off those looks. Come on.
-No.

Show me what you got.
Show me what you got!

-No, no, you didn't.
-Yes, I did. I'm telling you. It was fast.

-Oh, yeah, okay.
-But I was a kid.

No, you weren't.

I'm on my way!

PRACTICE 176 METERS
FRENCH RIVIERA SEPTEMBER 2016

One minute!

Let's go. Let's go!

Camera ready!

Ten seconds.

Coming.

-Pascal!
-I've got him.

-Pascal, breathe!
-Pascal!

-We've gotta get him in.
-Breathe!

-Pascal, breathe!
-He's not breathing.

-Come on, get him on the boat.
-That's it.

-Breathe.
-Pascal! Pascal!

-Watch his head.
-Let's go.

-That's it, come on.
-Pascal, breathe!

BIOCHEMISTRY, HEMATOLOGY,
PHARMACOLOGY AND TOXICOLOGY

And when was the last time?

The last time I what?

That I passed out?

Hasn't happened in years.

It's Roxana, isn't it?

Your boyfriend is playing with fire.

If he continues to dive,
this will not end well.

If you love him,
you need to convince him to stop.

Well, I can't do that.

It's his whole life.

For now, it is.

You need to understand.
These blackouts aren't harmless.

I'm asking you to stop.

You're taking too many risks now.

It is what it is.

It's my life.

Maybe you should see a different doctor.

He's doing his job. It's always the same.
I'll dive again when I feel like it.

-But I thought of somethin' else.
-What?

Go on.

Come on, what?

Just tell me!

FIRST PRACTICE
PORQUEROLLES AUGUST 2016

Clear mind. Clear dive.

You have the technique, the lungs.
You know what to do.

Things get complicated
the day of the competition.

When you're alone with your team,
you have enough oxygen for a week.

But when the countdown
with the judges starts…

The pressure, the crowd,
the noise, the countdown…

That's what separates
the men from the boys.

You ready?

Okay.

AIDA GRAND PRIX
BARI, ITALY SEPTEMBER 2016

Five. Four.

Three. Two.

One. Official top!

-What's happening?
-No, thanks.

-She's gotta…
-You wish!

I'm okay.

Roxana Aubry, 56 meters!

A new French women's record in CWF!

You got it!

You did it!

Congratulations again, Roxana,
for that amazing dive of yours.

You're the best French freediver today.
How does it feel?

Well, it feels good.
It feels really good.

But I never could have
done it without him.

Pascal Gautier.

Indeed, who knows the depths better than
Pascal Gautier? But you already know that.

Mwah!

-No, thank you, guys.
-Thank you.

-Are you proud?
-Well, yeah, I am.

-You deserve it.
-That RMC journalist is a bit of a boor.

-Are you Pascal?
-Well, no.

-He was really weird.
-I'm Roxana's mother.

Nice to meet you. A pleasure.
Did you have a nice trip down?

-Mom?
-Yes, I did.

-What are you doing here?
-Oh, well.

I had no idea this event
would be so… important.

But why are you here?
You don't like the beach. Uh…

Or boats, or the ocean, I mean…

Why are you so aggressive?

What's the problem here?

All this isn't good for her. It's harmful.

-You don't even know my daughter.
-Mom! Don't say that.

You shouldn't risk your life like this!

-How are you not able to see that?
-Mom, just quit it!

-She's fragile. She's--
-Stop it! Just hold on, we need a minute.

I think you should just come home.

Stop it. I know what you're doing,
and it's pointless.

Hmm.

That was impressive today.

Very impressive.

And you're good.

I told Grandpa about it.
He couldn't believe it.

He was overjoyed.

How's he doing?

Good.

Of course, his heart is still weak.
That's not going to change. But he's fine.

He misses you.

I'm not going home with you.

I know that.

Take care of yourself.

You okay, my love?

You okay?

Uh-huh.

What's on your mind?

Don't worry, I'll be right there.
Just go back to bed.

AIDA GRAND PRIX
BARI, ITALY SEPTEMBER 2016

DAY 2

You find him?

He's not on board.

I'm not sure he's coming.

Of course. The only interview
we all need to be present for.

How long's that guy been under?

Two minutes 50.

Here he comes!

Get his head.

-Come on.
-Breathe, breathe, breathe.

Come on, come on. Breathe!

He's okay.

Well, at least there won't be
any new world record.

Hey, hey, hey. Is she the American?

-Yeah.
-Wow.

Yeah.

She wants to get to 178 meters.

What?

Her last competition,
she reached 130 meters.

-Well…
-You sure?

-Suit yourself.
-She wants to beat the record like that?

-They'll never let her.
-They will. She did it during training.

They're watching the video now.
She's gonna beat the men's record.

-She'll do it.
-Oh, you think I will, huh?

-Hi…
-And he won't pick up his fucking phone.

Five. Four. Three.

Two. One.

Official top!

Amazing.

-Thank you.
-Congratulations.

Nice work.

Congrats!

-Thank you.
-Well done.

Guys, I wanna dive.

Does he know about the record?

-Set it to 180.
-Why do you think we're here?

He wants to reach 180 meters.

He's crazy if he thinks we're gonna
watch him self-destruct.

-I'm gonna dive!
-Please listen. It wasn't planned.

You know I have to beat it. I'm doing it.

-I don't wanna see this.
-They'll never let him. Plus, no time.

All right, let's go.

-He's out of his mind.
-Yeah.

-I'm ready. I'll destroy her. And you too!
-No. No!

-Oh, okay…
-You'll fucking regret this.

Hey, whoa, calm down.

Fuck you! I won't forget this.

-Calm down, Pascal.
-Let's go! Come on, let's go!

You want me to drive, or what?

Okay, thank you, thank you.

Ladies and gentlemen,

we have a national record
for a new French diver.

And that's not necessarily a big deal,

but the woman who made this record,

this was her very first competitive dive.

And that's a big deal.

Ladies and gentlemen,
a new record for France

in the Constant Weight with Fins category…

56 meters.

Allow me to introduce Roxana Aubry!

Whoo! Yes!

Oh, hang on a second.

Yeah, there…

-Now, the Earth shatters under our feet.
-That's you!

For the first time ever in our sport,

a woman replaces a man
for the world record

to the deepest place
a human has gone in the sea.

Ladies and gentlemen,
the champion of the deep,

holding a new world record of 178 meters,

Naomi Clarke!

Naomi!

Naomi!

Naomi!

Naomi!

Yeah!

Naomi!

Congratulations. Congratulations.

There you go!

You call this late?

-Buongiorno, è possibile…
-Thank you.

Sì, perfetto.

Hup! Hup!

Great. Hup!

I'm gonna walk a little.
I'll take a taxi.

-Really?
-Why?

-Because.
-No.

-You're not walking home!
-I need some air. It's fine.

-Come on, get in!
-No, go ahead, it's okay.

-Wait, she doesn't have the key!
-We love you, Roxy!

Hey, Roxy!

Wait for me!

I couldn't stay there.

You could have tried.

It was an important moment for me.

I have nothing to do
with your record getting beaten.

Beaten? That whole dive was bullshit!

Did you see the video?

-No.
-Well, she's an imposter.

-And I'm winning my title back.
-What are you even saying?

I'm not gonna stop competing
'cause of a couple unlucky dives, okay?

Just let your body rest!

Listen to the doctors.

You've gotta be kidding.
I'm never going to!

I'd rather anyone else hold this record.
Even you.

Because I saw you back there. I saw
the way that you loved the spotlight.

-That's really sad.
-That's really sad?

Oh, yeah?

I'll tell you what's sad.

My father left when I was five.

He beat my mother every night.

And we were relieved
when he finally left us.

And then my mother left.

The poor woman couldn't take care of me.
She drank so much.

But now look at me today.

I've set 25 world records.

There are those who sit in the sun
and those who touch the sun.

I built this myself. I got my revenge
on everything and everyone.

Threw back every punch I got.
And I'm not tired of fighting.

I'm a champion.

But I guess you think
that's also sad, don't you?

-I'm sorry, but that's not what I meant--
-It's fine, forget it.

I need a little air.

You go back to the hotel.

Hi. You've reached Pascal Gautier.
I'm unavailable at the moment.

Leave a message after the beep. Thank you.

Hi. You've reached Pascal Gautier.
I'm unavailable at the moment.

Leave a message after the beep.

Hi. You've reached Pascal Gautier.
I'm unavailable at the moment.

Give me that.

No, I'm good.

-How you feelin'?
-Tired. Have you seen Pascal?

-He didn't mention it?
-No. What do you mean?

Wait. What's going on?

He needed to be alone.
He left for Kalamata.

They wouldn't let him dive
because he blacked out.

I'm sorry. I thought he'd said something.

No, he did. I just didn't know
he'd be leaving so early.

Hey, I know Léa was sad to say goodbye.

How would you know that?

-No.
-Stéph?

Are the blackouts really serious?

Well, they're not good.
It happens to some divers, with age.

The problem is that once they start,
they rarely stop.

There you have it.

You want me to call Pascal?

No. If I needed to call him,
then I'd call him myself.

All right, let's go.

See, for me, this is the real deal.

No fins. No sled.

No lift bag for resurfacing.

Just you, your strength,
and your know-how.

You've got the technique.
You've got the lungs. You're gifted.

I'm not kidding.

Some people immediately excel in sports.

It's rare, especially
in freediving, but still.

You…

You have a natural physiology for it.

And that…

That is a gift.

But it's not enough.

What matters most

is your mind.

Visualize the dive
as if you were in a training session.

Stay focused.

Stay calm.

There.

Long breath in…

What is it?

-I'm not sure I'm ready.
-Of course you're ready.

I wouldn't let you dive if I didn't
think you could do it. All right?

It's not the same without him.

Roxy.

You don't need Pascal.
You don't need anyone.

You don't even need me, so…

Thanks.

HELLENIC FREEDIVING CUP
KALAMATA, GREECE OCTOBER 2016

And it's a…
it's a beautiful kind of meditation

when you're that deep underwater.

But what really
makes it unique is, uh…

It's… it's the loneliest team sport.

A lot of fans have recently commented
on the fact that freediving as a sport

is being taken over by gorgeous women.

Which, for me,
isn't necessarily a problem, but…

I was wondering if you cared to comment on
both your newfound role as a star athlete

and, let's be honest…

a sex symbol.

Whoa.

Oh, I don't know, it's, uh…

It's not very feminist,
but thank you for saying that.

Um…

I'm not a star athlete yet.

Uh… And I'm definitely not a sex symbol.

Yes, you are!

Uh, no, no, but I think it's, um…

It's a very interesting moment
in this sport.

One where the… the line is blurring
between men and women,

and it's just about who's the best.

Or maybe that's naive.

-Uh…
-Not one bit.

Congratulations again.

Ah, thank you.

I think what you're doing
is so amazing, and…

Other than being a sex symbol, obviously.

And now you're really killing it.
I think we got what we wanted, yeah?

-Everything's good.
-No, uh… thank you.

I really appreciate this.

-It's my pleasure.
-Yeah.

Thanks.

I think we're all good.

-Thanks.
-That's all right.

You came.

And at just the right time,
apparently.

What do you mean? Where were you?

You disappeared
and the team had to tell me you left?

I said I needed some space.

You said that you needed to take a walk.

What was that, huh?

What was what?

It doesn't matter whether
I'm here holding your hand or not.

You're a professional athlete now.

You're my partner,
and you're part of my team.

-Yeah, and?
-Then start acting like it!

Blushing like a schoolgirl
when a guy looks at you.

Don't forget how we got here.

Pascal!

Pascal!

They're all waiting for you.

I've been thinking.

And I think it's time now.

To go for the record.
We can't leave things how they are.

-Ugh. Come on.
-Wait. I know what you're about to say.

That I'm not ready.
That I need more training.

I'm not in good enough shape. I get that.

And it's true.

You're right. I wouldn't be.

But Roxana is.

-What's that?
-You know she's more than capable.

CWF is a lot more complicated
than no limit.

-Oh, really?
-That right?

You really think she's ready for no limit?

Okay.

Forget about it.

I quit.

I quit.

We've done some crazy stuff together,
Pascal, but this is too far.

This isn't the time to fucking give up.

No. You can risk your own life doing this,
but you can't do it with others.

Stéph.

-I agree.
-You're kidding.

This time, I won't do it.

You think I'd put the love of my life
in danger like that? Just because?

You actually think that.

Go ahead.

Mr. Tom and Mr. Stéphane are out.

You want out? Do you wanna quit?

Seriously, you're leaving?

So after everything we've been
through together, you're bailing.

You want to go home?
Then beat it, get lost!

If you don't like it,
then you can just go! All of you, go!

I don't need anyone here. You got that?

You're not leaving, I'm firing all of you!

-Get out! All of you!
-Stop it!

All of you, sit down!

I am tired of everyone else
making my decisions and speaking for me.

Pascal wouldn't put me in danger.

And just stop talking about me
like I'm not even fucking here!

I'm right here!

Doing this dive is my choice.

I'm not doing this for Pascal.

I'm doing this for me.

Is this your father?

No.

That's my uncle.

The one who raised me.

He's the one who taught me how to dive.

Back then,
I could barely hold the spear gun.

You'll have your comeback.

You don't know.

Maybe you're right, but…

I know what it's like to…
feel like it's over.

I was an awkward kid.

I had braces. I was skinny.

I told you that.

But…

I felt alone.

My dad killed himself when I was 12.

Depression. He refused to get help.

He was so young.

My mother was a wreck.

I was… I don't know.

I just had questions.

Why did he want to do it?

Why did he want to leave us?

Could I… could I have stopped him?

Or did I do something?

I kind of got obsessed
with the idea of death.

What would it feel like?

Uh…

And at some point, it was all too much.

And one day, I just decided.

That was the day.
That was it, I would join him.

I filled up the tub with water

and cut open my wrists.

My grandfather found me in there.

And he saved my life.

That's not who you are now.

You mean more to me than…

than any trophy or any record.

It's the truth.

I would throw it all away.

I don't know, give it up,
go to a deserted island with you,

and have children.

Oh!

Why don't we put everything else aside?

I just want to do what's best for us.

You already wanna give up?

We don't give up.

You're a champion now.

Thanks to me.

You wanna be insignificant again?

Live life in the shadows?

You're just afraid.

Right?

When you're the best, you don't quit.

I'm going for a walk.

Okay, okay.

-How are you?
-Tom!

-Oh!
-How ya doin'?

-Oof!
-Mmm!

-How are you?
-Oh, I'm so glad to see you.

I'm glad to see you as well.

-Two shots?
-Two shots. All right, two shots, please.

-What are you drinkin'?
-Uh, red Martini.

-What shall we drink to?
-Um…

-To diving. To the record.
-Okay.

Here. Here we go.

Thanks.

Ugh!

Bleh!

You feeling stressed? Are you nervous?

-You want to--
-Uh, no, no, um…

-What do you wanna talk about?
-Uhh…

I'm a little nervous.

-Mm-hm?
-But…

I just… I wanted, uh…

to set things straight with us
before the dive.

What do you mean?

Maybe I made the wrong choice.

You liked me first, didn't you?

No.

Hmm.

Yes, yes.

Yes. Yes, I liked you, yeah.

And I think that you liked me.

I'm so sorry.

Ooh, you had a fight
with Pascal, didn't you?

Huh?

He's cheating on me.

Look, Roxy, it's best
I don't get myself in the middle.

No, but I'm not asking you
to verify anything. I already know.

Everyone does.

I really am sorry, because I… I--

-I'm a nice girl, right?
-Yes. Yes.

You're incredibly nice.

Yeah, you're amazing.

But right now, you're drunk. Huh?

I don't blame you.

No, but…

I just don't want you
to regret kissing me.

Hm?

Wanna go for a bike ride?

-Yes!
-Okay.

I'm okay.

-Bravo!
-All right!

-Whoo!
-Yeah!

-All right!
-Yeah!

-Yeah!
-Whoo!

-Nice stuff! Yes!
-Yeah!

See, I told you guys.
I told you she's a champion.

I knew you could do it.

176.

Boom!

Set the plate to 180.

You mean for her?

Not for her, idiot. For me.

What?

180 meters. Do it.

I'm fine.

I know.

I know you're fine.

Can we talk for a sec?

What if we took a vacation?

I told you to stop worrying.

We could leave all this behind
for a while, just me and you.

Get away from it all.

-From the water--
-No!

-Just a little--
-Quiet!

Nobody treats me like I'm a child.

We're not going anywhere.

When things get bad, I don't run and hide.

So you're gonna keep training.

You have a competition in five days.

You'll be there.

Okay?

That's bullshit.

I swear.

Okay.

Okay, that works, yeah. Take care.

Big hug.

Who was that?

No one.

A friend. Nothing important.

Well, if it's not important, then tell me.

You think it was a girl?

You think I'd flaunt an affair
in your face?

You're an ass.

You ask stupid questions,
you get asshole answers.

I'm goin' out. I need some air.

Come here!

Take it easy, huh?

-You ready?
-Of course.

Yeah, it's open!

Hey, Roxy, what's goin' on?

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

What's the matter?

What's going on? Come here.

-Tell me what's wrong.
-It's too much.

I'm leaving him. I can't…

That's good.

Shhh.

I wanna do this last dive with you.

But it's the last.

Okay.

-Okay.
-Okay?

Sure.

Shhh.

This time, I'm not drunk.

-Uh, no?
-No.

I did make the wrong choice.

Where were you?

Hey!

What are you doin'?

You tell me. What's it look like?

-Okay, just calm down.
-Don't tell me to calm down.

Get away from me!

Okay, I will.

We're done.

Do you hear me?

I'm done being walked all over.

Okay, then go.

But you're the one quitting on us. Not me.

You cheated. Fine.

You needed to do that.
That's fine. So did I!

-It wasn't important. It was meaningless.
-Well, it meant something to me!

Everything that you and I went through
together had meaning!

You're the only woman I've ever loved.

-You know that.
-No, I don't buy it.

I know it's not easy.

And that I'm not easy.

But we're not living
some stupid average life.

And what we have together,
what we are together…

It's exceptional. It's rare.

It comes once in a lifetime.

Roxana, do you hear me?

What did you do?

-I'm sorry.
-No.

No, Roxy.

I'm sorry.

No.

Okay!

Okay, not bad.

Again.
Give me your maximum diving time now.

I JUST WANTED TO CHECK IN

-Okay, all good, I've welded it.
-Mm-hm.

You've got the bar.

So that's… Here, grab it.

Whoa! Hey, I said grab it!
Oh! What are you doing?

Just sending a text.

Who are you texting?

TOM
I'M THINKING OF YOU

ARE YOU OKAY, I JUST WANTED TO CHECK IN

JANUARY 2017

Thank you all for coming.

Pascal Gautier and Roxana Aubry
are here together,

this time in the capacity
of diver and coach,

to take some of your questions

about tomorrow's event
and her record attempt.

Fabrice, Canal Plus.

Well, looking at you sitting there, uh…

Well, I see the two best
French freedivers.

A living legend with more records
than anyone in this sport,

and a young woman who came out of nowhere

and managed to beat
two records in six months.

And not to mention her upcoming attempt
to reach 180 meters.

Is there a question?

There is. Sorry.

My question is twofold.
First of all, how are you managing

being in a relationship
where you are constantly both in danger?

And second, Roxana, could you tell us what
it's like to be trained by your partner?

Thank you.

Everyone talks
about the dangers of freediving.

Actually, it's not the most dangerous,
if you think about race car driving,

or skiing, or rugby.

I mean, even cheerleading.

Do you know how many cheerleaders die
while practicing that sport?

If it's a real sport.

Of course it's dangerous.

But we are very careful.

And we have the best safety teams
in the entire world.

Um… And as for the other question,

for me, if there is trust and love,
you always want to go further.

I could have never done this without him.

Thank you.

Another question?

Nathalie, TF1.

Thank you. Roxana, uh…

You're seen as a feminist model
in the world of sports.

So, I would like to know,
as a journalist but also as a woman…

…how you're feeling
as you are about to attempt

to beat a world record
that used to be held by your partner.

Roxana?

A question from TF1.

Sorry, could you repeat the question?

Well, I was saying you're considered by
many as a model of feminism, as you know,

and I wanted to know how you're feeling
as you're preparing--

Um, sorry. Really sorry. Um…

Thank you all.

Um, another question. Guillaume!

APNEA WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP
NO-LIMIT WORLD RECORD ATTEMPT 180 METERS

-Tell me about the sled.
-On the platform.

It hasn't been put on the line yet.

The parachute?

Checked it.
The containers are full and ready.

Where are we on the safety teams?

-Ready.
-We'll still do a check before the dive.

And how's she doing?

She's fine.

All right.

Hey. I didn't see you there.

Things haven't been easy lately.

Got it?

Yeah.

I just wanted you to know that we're good.

Thanks, man.

Fifteen minutes.

My champion.

Platform one, next category,
no limit world record attempt.

Platform one.

Everything okay?

Just checkin' it.

Stéph and I already did the final check.

I know.

It's good to go.

Help me get it in the water.

-One, two.
-Two.

Thirty seconds to dive.

Roxana Aubry.

180 meters.

Ten seconds.

You good?

Three minutes 40!

Something's wrong. The sled's not moving.

What's goin' on?

Shit.

It's taking too long. I'm going up.

Tom! Tom!

DANGER
STOP ASCENT

Stop! Stop!

You can't yet! No! Stop!

Stop!

-Let go of me!
-Don't! No, don't do it!

-No! Let go of me! Let go!
-Stop! Stop!

You can't resurface yet. Wait!

No!

Ah! Bring her out! Go!

Six minutes and 50 seconds!

That's several minutes.

Here they are!

Prep the team!

She's coming up.

That's it! Tilt back.

Roxana!

Roxana, breathe!

Out of the way!
Out of the fucking way!

Make some room! Go, go!

-Out of the water.
-Fucking hurry up!

Bring her out!

Roxana! Shit, come on!

-Roxana!
-Right now.

Hurry, move!

-Let's go, let's go, let's go!
-Come on! Come on!

Roxana! Roxana, can you hear me?

Medic!

Just breathe. Can you hear me, Roxana?

Shit! Fuck!

Fuck, she's stopped breathing!

Oxygen!

Mr. Carole?

You're saying you checked the tank
that was supposed to fill the lift bag?

The lift bag too, yeah.

I checked everything with Stéphane Géralt.

And it was full?

We check everything before every dive.

It was full and functional.

And when Miss Aubry reached the bottom
and tried to open it?

It was empty.

What do you think happened
to all that air?

There you are, sir, we're here.

Thanks.
