A ballerina dances with plastic monsters in this haunting underwater fever dream.
This underwater ballet is an ecological story depicting our paradoxical relationship with plastic. Bakelite launched the #SickOfPlastic campaign from On Est Prêt, along with the Surfrider Foundation, Break Free from Plastic and the Resilient Foundation. Photography was directed by Jacques Ballard, a specialist in underwater cinematography.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Gautier and Ballard are frequent collaborators; they previously made the viral sensation 'AMA' about a dancer in a flooded Paris.
The #SickOfPlastic campaign got 200M+ impressions, but the film's real power is making you never look at a water bottle the same way again.
