film documentary on the living sea

The director just filmed the living sea without documentary explanation. No words are speaking in the film. The only thing are beautiful images and music. Not so much you would think but the way it is done is simply beautiful. Luc Besson put the right music with right image. It is very hard to write about it, you just have to see it. You get out of the film completely relax...
