3. PLOT The plot revolves around a catastrophic event that takes place in the Parisian underground, particularly in the passages of tunnels beneath the Seine River. The story follows a group of Parisians, including scientists, emergency responders, and everyday citizens, who are trapped underground after a massive flood breaches the city's defenses, sending the Seine's waters crashing into the tunnels. As they struggle to survive, they discover that the floodwaters have also brought with them a terrifying threat—aggressive, mutated sharks that have somehow adapted to the environment.

4. SETTING The film is primarily set in  Paris, France . The majority of the action takes place on the Seine River.

5. CONFLICT This movie specifies Man vs Supernatural type of conflict because mutated sharks aren't real or exists.

6. THEME The film theme mainly focuses on Horror/Action because it consists of Fear and Suspense, Gore and violence, supernatural, physical danger, high-stakes situations.

7. EXPOSITION The film opens with the introduction of Sophia, a brilliant scientist, and the traumatic backstory involving a shark attack that killed her husband. The exposition also sets the scene in Paris, where preparations for the World Triathlon Championships are underway. This section establishes the threat as Sophia learns from Mika, an environmental activist, that a large shark has been spotted in the Seine.

8. RISING ACTION The rising action starts to build as Sophia, Adil (a Seine river police commander), and others work to confirm the presence of the shark and persuade the mayor to cancel the triathlon. Despite their warnings, the mayor refuses to listen. The tension increases as they discover that the shark, named Lilith , is a new species capable of rapid reproduction through parthenogenesis, and it poses a much larger threat than initially thought.

9. CLIMAX The climax occurs during the triathlon event, which the mayor insists on proceeding with. As the race begins, the sharks attack the participants, leading to chaos. The situation spirals out of control as the sharks trigger WWII-era underwater explosives, causing bridges to collapse and the city to flood.

10. FALLING ACTION In the aftermath of the attack, the survivors, including Sophia, attempt to regroup. However, the city is in disarray, and the floodwaters continue to rise, with sharks now roaming freely across Paris. This sequence highlights the catastrophic impact of the mayor's negligence and the failure to heed scientific warnings.

11. RESOLUTION The film concludes on a unpleasant note as Sophia is left alone in a devastated, flooded Paris, with sharks still at large. The resolution emphasizes the film’s message about the consequences of human disregard for environmental threats, leaving the fate of the city and its inhabitants uncertain.
