This taut thriller claims to be based on actual events. In any case it's a harrowing story about a couple who are accidentally left behind on their scuba diving holiday. They float in the sea and go through every imaginable emotion. Doesn't sound like much, but this compact low budget film keep you in its grip all the way through.
