Luminous beings, creatures with their own internal light, enchant and astonish us. The sea at night sparkles, as millions of luminous plankton reveal the shapes of dolphins, fish and whales in a truly spectacular and magical light show. In this unknown universe of the dark deep sea where the only illumination is living light, weird and wonderful creatures hunt, mate and even hide using light.
