Forced into exile by geopolitics, Aleksei Molchanov, the world’s greatest living freediver and son of freediving pioneer Natalia Molchanova, has spent 2023 on a journey to reclaim his sporting glory and honour his iconic mother’s rugged legacy by attempting the most dominant season in the history of the deadly sport. His near-suicidal quest to achieve five world records in under four months takes him to the farthest reaches of the globe and the limits of human performance. In the process, he is forced to re-evaluate every skill and belief he has built his entire life upon.
