Written and directed by Valentin Paoli, the film features Rone appearing as himself. The production was handled by Valdés and produced by Laurent Baudens and Laurent Flahault. With a runtime of 83 minutes, the movie blends elements of music and nature to examine the resonance between synthetic sounds and marine life.
