An 18-year-old skater with cerebral palsy navigates heartbreak while finding new ways to express himself.

Directed by Veerle Ackerstaff

In 'Dive Deep,' the adolescent inner world of Storm (18), a skater with cerebral palsy, is exposed as he struggles with anxiety. His attempt to suppress the memories and to conceal his sadness over his mother's absence leads to tension at home and distance from his friends. When his boyfriend breaks up with him, Storm becomes even more fragmented and is forced to choose between facing his emotions or risking losing everything, including himself.
