Filmmaker Craig Foster, struggling with burnout, returns to free-diving in the cold kelp forests of South Africa. There, he encounters a curious wild octopus and begins visiting her daily for nearly a year. The film captures her intelligence, survival, and eventual death, while showing Foster’s emotional awakening and renewed sense of empathy and wonder toward nature. It’s a deeply meditative story about connection, vulnerability, and the hidden intelligence of marine life.
