The event: Juniors' National High Diving team-competition. The favourites from Sparta meet the outsiders from Hermes. The parents, the coaches, the cheerleaders and the rest of the crowd are all in the arena. After a perfect start, Hermes' great hope, Thomas, blows his second dive. For a moment, the faith of the team lies in the hands of his team-mates. Ultimately, Thomas gets another chance. While Thomas gets ready, silence slowly spreads throughout the arena. From the top board, Thomas looks down upon all those who hope he will succeed! But can he take the pressure? »Fear of Heights« is a film about ambition and the pressure generated by - one's own and others' - expectations.
