Synopsis: 

LAND DIVERS: OUR DIVING LIFE
Through a "tube" this movie connect three originally imperfect lives to create a better perfection. It also links with the three mothers that they are connected like an umbilical cord for them. This three so called "Land Divers" whose lives are difficult like sailing and diving in land; however, they fight together against their destiny. They are about the same age living in the same city Taipei helping each other to explore and develop their lives in order to contribute this documentary which was filmed and produced also for 20 years to salute their mothers who never give up them. The story began with a well-known Taiwan TV anchor Hawping who helped her paralyzed mother see the outside world and dive in Bermuda's 40 meters deep seabed for her. Although comparing their individual lives which are so different, he found one common point that his “dive air snorkel” was very similar to the tubes of the other two: the “oxygen-supplying pipe” for an acquired polio tracheotomy patient, Ronfu and the “vocal cord practicing straw” for a congenital craniofacial impaired lady, Yuhua. Finally step by step the three had encouraged each other to fulfill their own and their mother’s dreams during the past two decades.
