Local Dive

About This Movie

Local Dive is a unique blend of animation and introspection. It's got this dreamy, almost ethereal quality as we follow this socially awkward girl who finds solace in the local swimming pool. The way the underwater world transforms into a canvas for her imagination is striking. She becomes a marine creature, oscillating between grace and predation, which really taps into those themes of identity and escape. The pacing is reflective, allowing you to soak in the rich visuals and the subtle score that accompanies her underwater adventures. The animation style feels raw yet fluid, capturing the essence of swimming beautifully. It’s part of the SBS series 'Swim Between the Flags', and you can really see how it explores deeper waters – quite literally and metaphorically.
