A film about Whisper, Drifter, Trickster - a collaborative art-science project exploring the effects of climate change and ocean acidification on marine organisms. It reminds us that what happens in the deep ocean is inextricably linked to our daily lives. It asks us to imagine these strange organisms as oracles trying to tell us something urgent in a language we don’t quite understand.
