The Waterdance (1992)

"The Waterdance" is a poignant examination of life's unexpected trials. Renowned author Joel Garcia's life takes a drastic turn when a hiking accident results in a paralyzing neck injury. Now confined to a rehabilitation centre, Joel finds himself in the unexpected company of Raymond, a charming yet boastful womanizer, and Bloss, a hardened biker marred by prejudices. As they grapple with their newfound disabilities, a tangible tension permeates the air, with each character wrestling not just with their physical limitations, but the complexities of their personal lives. Joel's struggle is amplified by his partner Anna, who is equally ensnared by the harsh realities of his circumstance. Raymond's evocative dream of dancing atop a lake to stay afloat serves as a metaphorical beacon for their survival. It becomes increasingly clear that each man must discover his own 'Waterdance' - an individual path to resilience amidst their shared adversity. A journey of self-discovery, acceptance, and survival, "The Waterdance" delves deep into the human spirit's ability to navigate life-altering tragedies.

The Waterdance is a drama movie featuring Eric Stoltz and directed by Michael Steinberg.
