Every journey has its vehicle. To the stars, a spaceship, to the abyss, a bathyal station. The great depths are the distant planets of a neighboring galaxy. 100, 120, 140 meters, these distances are both trivial and impassable. This universe is neither near nor distant, it is elsewhere. So to reach it is to join a parallel world: Laurent Ballesta and his comrades went very far, but they didn't really leave. They stayed at home, in the deep Mediterranean, for 28 days without returning to the open air. In the twilight light of still virgin spaces, life was dazzling. Where few divers venture, there are oases that seem to resist destruction and extinction. They are the last refuges of all those repressed from a territory under pressure. Here are the portraits of these unknown people on borrowed time, the landscapes of these territories in peril. More than a new world, it is another planet, the Mediterranean Planet.
