Skate Rats Have Hearts raises awareness about men’s mental health. It explores
the tender and vulnerable side of young men that dedicate their life to
skateboarding, contrasting with their lifestyle that requires them to be and act
tough. The film celebrates how introspection and feelings of dejection can be
transformed into raw and youthful energy.
