Synopsis

Jan Kounen, a feature film director and scriptwriter, presents a unique and thrilling exploration of pregnancy, birth, and a baby’s first swim, set among marine creatures. Leina Sato is a Japanese professional free diver who is expecting her first child. Her partner, Jean-Marie Ghislain, is an underwater photographer. Both share a passion for the oceans and believe in a strong bond between a mother-to-be and cetaceans, and they aim to prove it. Leina will engage in multiple encounters with whales, dolphins, and other underwater mammals. *Mother Ocean* is an extraordinary meeting between humans and underwater species, centered on the universal themes of giving birth and the power of creating life.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 8

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
