THE DEEPEST MAN IN A SWIMSUIT

A construction engineer and a father of two children decides to reach 111m of depth in Adriatic sea. Breath-diving, holding a stone in his hands and in a swimsuit only. A senseless act and the craziest free-diving record, full of constant drown backs. And over the limits of control. This record becomes his life and he meanwhile discounts the world around him. His pranged wife, his child, his parents, health.. a life to wish for.

The need for achievement pushes him to pursue success in a life endangering action and put everything he has on hold. But what if he fails? Is there anything left?
