Story
James More, a Scotsman, is held captive by jihadist fighters in an undisclosed location in Africa. Meanwhile, thousands of miles away near the Greenland Sea, Danny Flinders prepares to dive into the ocean depths using a submersible. Both are tormented by memories of their intense romance that began during a chance encounter on a French beach at Christmas the previous year.
Summary
'Submergence' (2017), directed by Wim Wenders and based on J.M. Ledgard's novel, is a thriller-drama-romance film that intertwines two seemingly disconnected narratives: one of captivity and terrorism in Africa, and another involving oceanic exploration. The film explores themes of love, memory, and survival amidst adversity.
