A follow-up to the film The Aquanauts. The observation satellite Zenon has, on its own, left its assigned orbit and is refusing to send back vital data concerning the Earth's water reserves. Those in charge of the Research Centre that sent the satellite up are threatening to destroy this free and intelligent 'spirit' if Estelle, the scientist controlling it, cannot make her 'friend' see reason.
