Gefangene des Meeres (1989)

Documentary film about the adventurous professional life of sponge divers on the Greek Aegean island of Kalymnos. Their existence has been called into question since the entire sponge population became unusable due to fungal infestation in the fall of 1986, for which the fishermen blame the Chernobyl disaster.
