Free diver Kimi Werner—who found fame as United States National Superfishing Champion, a culinary chef, and artist—plunges beneath the waves in this meditative new film for Mercedes-Benz—completing a journey in which she finds her own element, and owns it.

Werner first learnt to dive as a child off the coast of Maui, floating behind her father as he dove for their primary source of food. Later, as an adult, she returned to the sea—understanding the central role it would play in her life, through pain, solace, and acceptance.

Success would eventually draw the athlete and artist away from the ocean, disrupting the deep-seated connection she once had with the water—alone. Here, Werner returns to Oahu, Hawaii, to confront her demons, and to take one last drop into the freezing blue-black depths.
