Western Australia in the 1970s: where no-man’s-land meets the end of the world and unceasing waves whip away at craggy rocks is where the sheltered Picklet and the impulsively adventurous Loonie spend their youth. Attracted by the charm of surfer Sando, the two discover a new passion, getting carried away by the waves. The two boys, Sando and his wife Eva develop a deep friendship. As the boys’ new surf guru, Sando is soon challenging the teenagers to an adrenaline-fuelled rush that is harbouring mortal danger… Based on the eponymous book by Tim Winton, this coming-of-age drama by director and lead actor Simon Baker captivates its audience not only with an extraordinary ensemble of actors.
