Spoilers ahead
The film opens in Italy, with two fishermen riding their boat out into the water at night. Their record player is then taken underwater by a sea monster. The creature gets caught in their net but manages to free himself, leaping out over the boat before disappearing from the mens’ sight.
Under the ocean lives Luca Paguro (Jacob Tremblay), a young sea monster who lives with his parents Daniela (Maya Rudolph) and Lorenzo (Jim Gaffigan) plus his Grandma (Sandy Martin). He must round up some fish (that act like sheep) while also hiding from a boat that passes above the surface. Despite his parents’ warnings to avoid the surface, Luca has always had some interest, and Grandma even encourages his curiosity.
