Mike & Maurice

About This Movie

Mike & Maurice is a gentle dive into an unusual friendship between a scuba instructor and a fish, set against the stunning backdrop of Crete's Kalypso Bay. The film’s atmosphere is tranquil, almost meditative, as it unfolds over three summers. You really get a sense of the bond that develops—not just between Mike and Maurice, but also with the underwater environment. The pacing allows you to sink into those moments of quiet companionship. The visuals are striking; you can tell they used practical effects and true underwater photography to capture the magic of the sea. It’s quite distinctive in how it approaches its themes of conservation and friendship without being preachy, which makes you reflect on the fragility of marine life.
