Actors Hayden Panettiere, Isabel Lucas, Louie Psihoyos
The film follows former dolphin trainer and activist Ric O'Barry's quest to document the dolphin hunting operations in Taiji, Wakayama, Japan. In the 1960s, O'Barry helped capture and train the five wild dolphins who shared the role of "Flipper" in the hit television series of the same name. The show, very popular, fueled widespread public adoration of dolphins, influencing the development of marine parks that included dolphins in their attractions. After one of the dolphins, in O'Barry's opinion, committed a form of suicide in his arms by closing her blowhole voluntarily in order to suffocate, O'Barry came to see the dolphin's captivity and the dolphin capture industry as a curse, not a blessing. Days later, he was arrested off the island of Bimini, attempting to cut a hole in the sea pen in order to set free a captured dolphin. Since then, according to the film, O'Barry has dedicated himself full-time as an advocate on behalf of dolphins around the world.

A troubled fourteen-year-old girl named Alyssa (Carly Schroeder) has been living with her grandmother Lucy (Katharine Ross) since the death of her mother a year before. After being suspended from school for smoking, Alyssa is brought to the Bahamas to live with Hawk (Adrian Dunbar), the father she never knew she had. Alyssa's arrival on the island comes at a decisively inconvenient time for Hawk, a dolphin researcher, whose prickly personality puts him at odds with local politicians, who feel that the local economy needs good relations with tourists. It is a difficult relationship at first between Alyssa and her father, but Tamika (Christine Adams), Hawk's girlfriend, and Daniel (George Harris), Tamika's father, smooth the way. Alyssa soon adjusts to island life, and she discovers the gift that she shares with her father for communicating with dolphins, a skill which leads her into a powerful relationship with a wild dolphin which her father, for legitimate scientific reasons, cannot condone. But when the powers-that-be threaten to close down her father's research station, it is Alyssa and her wild friend who hold the key, and they have the power to bring all parties together.

Pour la suite du monde traite de la vie des habitants de l'Isle-aux-Coudres et de leur traditionnelle pêche au « marsouin » (le nom local pour désigner le béluga). Les cinéastes ont amené les personnages du film à reconstituer une véritable chasse au marsouin, abandonnée depuis 1924, en mobilisant toutes les générations. Les évènements qui se déroulent dans le film sont donc à la fois joués (bien que chaque séquence n'est tournée qu'une seule fois) et vécus.

Dans le sud du Sahara, près d'un village dévasté par la famine et la pénurie d'eau potable, une petite fille revient chez elle avec son seau d'eau. Mais par accident elle renverse le seau, dont la précieuse eau se répand sur le sol. Il lui semble alors voir apparaître en l'air l'œil d'une gigantesque créature, une baleine. En versant pour elle la dernière goutte d'eau, la créature prend forme et sillonne le ciel, redonnant vie au paysage qui verdit et se repeuple d'animaux. La petite fille, entraînée sur le dos de la baleine, monte jusqu'au ciel où elle voit bondir dans les nuages des troupeaux d'animaux africains, girafes, éléphants, rhinocéros, gazelles. La baleine redescend progressivement, puis disparaît, laissant de nouveau place au soleil aveuglant sur la steppe aride. Ce n'était qu'une apparition. La petite fille ramasse son seau vide et poursuit son trajet dans la steppe, où se dessine en creux l'image du corps d'une baleine.
