In one of the busiest harbours in the world, Woody, a local cinematographer, is documenting two marine biologists working to save one of the ocean’s most enchanting creatures: the endangered White Seahorse. Unable to have children, Woody becomes captivated by the seahorses, the only animals in the world where the male gives birth. As his bond with the two biologists, Mitch and Dave, and the seahorses deepens, the lines between observer and participant begin to blur. Seahorse School follows the collective struggles of Mitch, Dave, and Woody as they work to restore a species on the brink of extinction.
