Directed by Antonin Baudry, the film follows Chanteraide, a young "Golden Ear"—a sonar analyst with an extraordinary ability to identify any sound in the ocean depths. While aboard a French nuclear submarine, he makes a critical misidentification of a mysterious sound (the "Wolf's Call") that sets off a chain of events pushing France toward a nuclear confrontation.
