Steve Z., le chef de l'équipe océanographique « Team Zissou », sait que l'expédition qu'il conduit est sans doute la dernière, et son plus cher désir est de graver son nom dans l'Histoire. Parmi les membres de son équipe figurent Ned Plimpton, qui est peut-être ou peut-être pas son fils, Jane Winslett-Richardson, une journaliste enceinte dépêchée par le magazine Oceanographic Explorer, et sa femme Eleanor sa femme que l'on prétend être « le cerveau de la Team Zissou ». Tandis qu'ils affrontent tous les dangers, depuis une mutinerie jusqu'à une attaque de pirates en passant par un « requin jaguar » plus ou moins imaginaire, Zissou est bien forcé d'admettre que tout ne peut pas être planifié comme il l'aimerait...

Four episodes set on the beaches of Rimini: a womanizer pretends to be homosexual in order to gain the favors of a beautiful woman who ignores him. A mature beachgoer suffers from indigestion. A businessman unknowingly finances his wife's infidelities. Two wives from the south are forced to exchange partners.

Young Italian writers and directors express themselves in four episodes about sex and love. "Love and Language," the first tale, centers on the difficulties of a Sicilian immigrant who is unable to master proper Italian. the second tale "Love and Life" centers on a jealous and unhappy wife who becomes so desperate to be free of her constantly philandering husband she takes on a lover of her own. "Love and Art" a nearly exhausted screenwriter hires a secretary to help manage his typing. She's a pretty lass and this makes his insecure wife crazy until he fires the female and hires a male secretary. "Love and Death," the final episode centers on the love affair between a middle-aged widower and the grieving young widow he meets at the cemetery. Unfortuantely for his bank statement, the young, impoverished beauty isn't as bereaved as she seems.
