Le film alterne des séquences montrant des paysages naturels et des rites religieux ou spirituels humains, filmés sur les cinq continents. Au cœur du film, des séquences plus pénibles (accompagnées notamment de morceaux de Dead Can Dance dont The Host of Seraphim) montrent les aspects destructeurs de l'humanité telles la misère ou la guerre. La fin du film revient sur des séquences de spiritualité, notamment une séquence des bains rituels dans le Gange, à Varanasi en Inde.

The film follows former dolphin trainer and activist Ric O'Barry's quest to document the dolphin hunting operations in Taiji, Wakayama, Japan. In the 1960s, O'Barry helped capture and train the five wild dolphins who shared the role of "Flipper" in the hit television series of the same name. The show, very popular, fueled widespread public adoration of dolphins, influencing the development of marine parks that included dolphins in their attractions. After one of the dolphins, in O'Barry's opinion, committed a form of suicide in his arms by closing her blowhole voluntarily in order to suffocate, O'Barry came to see the dolphin's captivity and the dolphin capture industry as a curse, not a blessing. Days later, he was arrested off the island of Bimini, attempting to cut a hole in the sea pen in order to set free a captured dolphin. Since then, according to the film, O'Barry has dedicated himself full-time as an advocate on behalf of dolphins around the world.
