«Diving is like poetry, each movement flowing into the next.»'The Diver' is a hymn to diving and the aesthetics of movements, it is a dreamlike collage of movement, music and narration honouring the most beautiful sport there is. Helge Wasenius (born in 1927), the grand old man of divers, is the principal character in the film, a colourful daredevil of the sport.
