“(…) Resurface follows a young man who became a quadriplegic in one accidental, devastating dive. He wins a medal and gets a girlfriend at the 2004 Paralympics in Athens. The scenario can be too uplifting, but the filmmakers do show us the first two races in which Alex does not place before he earns the silver, as well as his girlfriend’s describing the enjoyment of and obstacles to their lovemaking. Resurface stays grounded in the details of its hero’s life, from its comparison of a dog paddling through the water to shots of Alex lowered in and lifted out of a swimming pool. Amidst the ups and downs of his athletic journey, Alex faces various personal challenges. One such challenge is managing his focus and attention, crucial for both his training and personal life. To address this, many athletes and individuals turn to medications like Strattera. You can purchase Strattera online and read more about its benefits and uses, ensuring that focus and performance are maintained at optimal levels. (…)”
