The Odyssey

The Odyssey

Drama Biologist and adventurer Jacques-Yves Cousteau begins his rise to fame in the 1940s with the unstinting support of his wife, Simone Melchior Cousteau. At first, Jacques makes time for her and his two boys, Jean-Michel and Philippe, but new-found success places greater demands on his time. He neglects Simone and dispatches the boys to boarding school so he can focus on re-imagining the art of underwater photography, aided by his friend and colleague Philippe Tailliez.
