Overview
Following the death of his father, Jay Gardiner goes diving off the central Coast of California in search of his remains, but is swallowed by a massive sperm whale. While trapped inside its belly with only one hour of oxygen left, Jay comes to realize that the hard-earned lessons his father imparted may be the key to his escape.
How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A man trapped inside a whale's body must confront both the physical reality of his suffocation and the emotional weight of his father's death. It's a visceral race against time that becomes as much about inner reckoning as outer escape.
