James More (James McAvoy) is a British Secret Service agent. He is about to go on a dangerous undercover mission to Somalia to track down a source who can provide details of suicide bombers infiltrating Europe. Danny Flinders (Alicia Vikander) is a bio-mathematician working on a deep-sea diving project to explore the origin of life on our planet. When they meet by chance at a remote resort, they fall rapidly, and unexpectedly, in love. But their work will too soon tear them apart, and when James is taken hostage by Jihadist fighters, he has no way of contacting Danny to tell her he is alive before she embarks on her perilous quest to dive to the bottom of the ocean. From Academy Award Nominated Director Wim Wenders, and based on the best-selling novel by J.M. Ledgard, Submergence is the compelling and mesmerising tale of lovers separated by fate but connected by something much deeper.
