Summary:

Eight-year-old Rachel as she embarks upon a series of experiments attempting to make sense of her defective eyesight. Balancing the innate desire of a child attempting to appear normal with the visual chaos of her everyday life, it contrasts ideas of perspective, both real and imagined, through the recurring motif of a diving board - limiting and precarious.
