Renowned oceanographer Steve Zissou has sworn vengeance upon the rare shark that devoured a member of his crew. In addition to his regular team, he is joined on his boat by Ned, a man who believes Zissou to be his father, and Jane, a journalist pregnant by a married man. They travel the sea, all too often running into pirates and, perhaps more traumatically, various figures from Zissou's past, including his estranged wife, Eleanor.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A gorgeously composed, deadpan odyssey where a washed-up oceanographer's quest for vengeance becomes a meandering meditation on loss, connection, and the impossibility of recapturing the past. The film moves at its own peculiar rhythm, blending melancholy humor with moments of genuine heartbreak beneath its handcrafted, storybook surfaces.
