Mediterranean: Life Under Siege

The loggerhead seaturtle crosses the Mediterranean from France to Greece to lay its eggs on the beach where it was born. The bluefin tuna swims from the Atlantic to the Mediterranean to spawn in its birthplace.

Guillaume, a world free-diving champion, explores the world of mother sperm whales and goes into the deep sea of the Mediterranean.

Growing up in the Mediterranean is no easy task. There is a lonely monk seal who has been separated from his family by a storm. On the island of Amorgos, a young cat is rejected by its mother.

Aging is affecting animals too, as old male flamingos are becoming clumsy; Time seems to be having no hold on some plants like Posidonia, a type of sea grass, which can be living up to a hundred thousand years.
