The documentary film investigates the story of the cruiser Zenta, sunk during the First World War, which lies at a depth of 80 m near the harbour of Bar in Montenegro. The film tells us about the cruiser itself and also about the situation in which the ship found itself. We can see some unique pictorial reconstructions made through animation, and we hear what happened to the Czech diving expedition. The story of this warship is supplemented by the personal testimonial of a woman whose father had participated in the battles aboard the Zenta as a sailor.
