The Sea Horse

The seahorse is the only fish that moves vertically. It is also one of the few animals in which the male nourishes the eggs deposited by the female in his brood pouch and actually gives birth to the young. To film at the bottom of the Garonne estuary, the first mobile underwater camera was improvised. This film, accompanied by music from Darius Milhaud, shows with precision and humor the life of this strange underwater animal.
