Szinopszis:
Many myths revolve around whale sharks in Indonesia. They harbor the spirits of ancestors and save people from drowning. Everywhere they are a sign of good luck and prosperity; accordingly, throughout Indonesia, local traditional regulations prohibit people from catching or harming whale sharks. They are the only shark species in Indonesia that is also fully protected by law. Rumor has it that some fishermen have a very special relationship with them. A team of underwater filmmakers and photographers take their cameras on a journey deep into an almost unknown region in Indonesia to discover this secret whale shark population.

The Jetlagged are award-winning underwater, nature and wildlife filmmakers and passionate for the protection of our ocean. While Hendrik enjoys combining his professional education as director and filmmaker with his passion for the ocean, Claudia builds on her background in media production and developed into an underwater videographer, one of the few females in the industry. The Jetlagged create powerful films about the underwater world from the polar circle to the equator. They use their cameras and skills not only to create beautiful films about their diving adventures, but also to focus on environmental issues.
