Overview

During World War II the passenger liner "Goliath" is sunk by a German submarine. Portions of the ship's hull remain airtight, and some of the passengers and crew survive. Over the decades they build a rigidly regulated society completely isolated from the surface world until, in contemporary times, a diving team begins to explore the wreck.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A sprawling deep-dive into a sealed underwater world where decades of isolation have built a strange, regulated society now forced to confront the outside. It's patient, atmospheric storytelling that treats the sunken ship as a character itself: a tomb that became a civilization.
