Parodic tribute to Jules Etienne Marey’s scientific photographs as an hydro-flight.
"Faire monter la pression" is a slow sub-marine traveling,which displays a diver walking at the bottom of a swimming pool.
His wetsuit is inflated with air until the lead ballast becomes too light to keep the diver deep down. The air pressure leads him on the surface.
