At Rocabella, we have always liked to tell stories. But this time, we are not presenting you with a simple story: we are offering you a journey behind the scenes of creation. The Making of In Depths is finally available, and it is a pure concentrate of emotion, creativity... and a hint of organized chaos.

Imagine this: six directors, seven weeks, one roof. Add to that the unique setting of Rocabella and an ambitious mission: to create a documentary from A to Z on a subject as majestic as it is urgent, the whales of the Mediterranean. The result? An intense experience combining laughter, doubts, frenzied brainstorming and overdosed coffee.

The making-of, produced by the talented Clara Yvard and Leslie Guimbault, captures with finesse everything that made this residence a unique moment. From the first sketches of ideas on a tablecloth to filming on the sea, In Depths is a vibrant tribute to artistic collaboration.

But it's not just about filmmakers looking for the perfect scene. This making-of is also a fascinating dive into the world of whales. You will discover how these giants of the seas communicate through songs so complex that they could make a composer blush. You will also see the impact of our human activities on their lives and survival, and how the directors approached this theme with exceptional sensitivity.

So, make yourself comfortable, make your popcorn (or some tea, to stay in the meditative mood), and dive behind the scenes of this unique adventure. We are sure you will come away inspired.
