A group of six scuba divers specializing in deep underwater operations live for three weeks at the bottom of the ocean. Staying alternately in the recompression chamber on board the platform Luna or conducting work on the bottom of the sea, the divers meticulously adhere to strict protocols.

Unlike his dialogue-free documentaries, Yuri Ancarani’s Piattaforma Luna is peppered with spoken directions and reports, words of labor that disrupt undersea silence. Anchored by the disciplined routines of veteran divers, this tableau of life inside a submarine is at once scientific and artful.
