It is the busiest, most densely populated city on earth. Real estate is scarce. Predators roam. Impostors lurk around every corner. Con Artists rule the streets. There is a complete lack of law and order.
Families cohabit, living in colonies, packed tightly together. Squatters and Poachers are commonplace. The battle for food is a fact of daily life. This city should be in chaos.
Yet, a surreal harmony reigns this lawless land.
From the acclaimed, award-winning Producers of 'The Reef' and 'Water Colours', comes another sensational story. An epic exploration of an underwater city. A story of love, honour, dedication and defeat. Of team efforts, unwritten codes of conduct and a communal commitment to co-exist.
Using highly specialised macro-cinematography and rebreather equipment, the Filmmakers capture extraordinary relationships of such minute creatures, they are lost and overlooked. From the sharks in the ‘penthouse’ to microscopic seahorses in the ‘basement’, landlord to tenant, architect to street cleaner, every resident has a significance, and a role in holding up the city’s core.
Filmed over 3 years on remote location, this spectacular one-off special is an eye opener, and a quest for the secret of peace and harmony, in a city where there should be chaos.
