The Surfer

When a man returns to his beach side hometown in Australia, he is humiliated in front of his teenage son by a local group of surfers who claim ownership over the secluded beach of his childhood.
Na vele jaren in de Verenigde Staten keert een man terug naar Australië om zijn familiehuis terug te kopen. Daar wordt hij door een groep lokale surfers vernederd in het bijzijn van zijn tienerzoon, omdat zij het eigendom opeisen van het afgelegen strand waar hij is opgegroeid. Gewond trotseert hij hen en blijft op het strand om acceptatie te eisen. Terwijl het conflict escaleert, wordt de man op het randje van zijn geestelijke gezondheid gebracht en wordt zijn identiteit in twijfel getrokken.
