The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou

On the research vessel Belafonte, a weathered captain's chair sits empty, summer sun beating down. A makeshift family forms, bound by revenge and curiosity, as they sail into encounters with pirates and past loves. Wes Anderson orchestrates a quirky voyage of self-discovery.
