Experiencing Interruptions?

Divebomb

"Divebomb" is a poignant coming-of-age drama that
plunges deep into the turbulent waters of adolescence and
mental health. Set against the backdrop of a luxurious
woodland mansion, the film follows Rachel (Jennifer
Stender), a troubled teenager grappling with Obsessive-
Compulsive Disorder (OCD). As Rachel struggles to
reconcile her inner turmoil with the idyllic world around her,
an unexpected connection with a free-spirited drifter, Darius
(Alecs Simone), catalyses her journey towards self-
acceptance. Through intimate cinematography and haunting
music, directors Clare Davidson and Will Thomas Freeman
craft a mesmerising emotional landscape, exploring themes
of individuation, liberation, and the power of human
connection. "Divebomb" is a raw, authentic portrayal of
mental health struggles and the transformative nature of
embracing one's true self, culminating in a metaphorical
plunge that signifies both rebirth and liberation.
