Plongeurs (2025)

To be a man is to be free

In Marseille, Plongeurs are known for diving from extreme heights into the mediterranean sea. They are both applauded and vilified, regularly featuring in music videos, viral reels and local news; where journalists report romantic accounts of their exploits. Each summer, a death or severe accident occurs often leading the press to turn on the community, making them mascots for the city’s social ills. The film captures the story of these young men, as they navigate the uneasy transition from boyhood to adulthood; looking beyond adrenaline to reveal how this hazardous pastime helps them to articulate their complex identities and experiences.
