Description: Synopsis: The whale shark? Isn't that the world's largest fish? In Honduras, just before the coast of a small Caribbean island, the continental shelf falls 6000ft down into the almost endless depths of the ocean. Somewhere there outside, the harmless plankton eater follows the energy-saving currents of the Caribbean Sea. Here, its journey also leads past Utila. Therefore, an own subculture has developed on the small inconspicuous island. But why of all places on the earth exactly there? What do we know about the largest fish in the world? What do scientists think? What are the inhabitants' views - what did visitors observe? Where does the fascination of whale sharks come from? And what is Utila - an island in paradise? - And anyway, why have I still not seen a whale shark? Did you ever see one? These questions and much more being answered by the protagonists themselves.... About the film: What do we want to trigger off with the viewer? The film is not only about impressing the viewers by showing marvellous pictures and fantastic music. What is more, viewers of the film will develop in particular a feeling and an understanding for the surrounding field of the island, for the inhabitants of Utila and for the whale shark by means of using unconventional methods. At best, the spectators become motivated not only to watch the documentation but also to have a good, critical look at the topic. It is our main objective to arouse the viewers' curiosity to that extent. Therefore, the documentation works without a classical narrator. Instead, the story is told by creating an interchange of interviews and film material. Currently, it is very likely for documentations to be well received, as more and more people are interested in acquiring more knowledge on films and are longing to fall into a new world. The sea is not a new world, but it is another, where humans are only guests. |
