Maritimes, and a moving meditation on what haunts us and how we struggle to keep
those specters at bay." - New York

Pressure. As an underwater
welder on an oilrig off the coast of Nova Scotia, Jack Joseph is used to the
immense pressures of deep-sea work. Nothing, however, could prepare him for the
pressures of impending fatherhood. As Jack dives deeper and deeper, he seems to
pull further and further away from his young wife and their unborn son. But
then, something happens deep on the ocean floor. Jack has a strange and
mind-bending encounter that will change the course of his life
forever!
Equal parts blue-collar
character study and mind-bending science fiction epic, The Underwater
Welder explores fathers and sons, birth and death, memory and truth, and the
treasures we all bury deep down inside.
