A normal fishing trip for a group of Icelandic fishermen becomes a nightmare when a raging storm strikes their small ocean-bound craft. But the disaster reveals something about one of the men that fascinates the investigators of the disaster. A low-key vérité version of A Perfect Storm directed by the accomplished Baltasar Kormákur (Jar City,101 Reykjavík), The Deep is both an effective and nerve-shredding drama, and an investigation into the resilience of both the human body and spirit.
