Synopsis

Arnaud, an introverted actor, earns a living as a publicist. In order to fulfill  his artistic dreams, he records tales from around the world. His endeavor raises little enthusiasm until an anonymous young girl listens over and over the last tale published on Arnaud’s website. Weaving together the interconnected destinies of the two characters, The Lure of the Deep provokes a meeting between two lonely human beings, uniting them though words.
