Project Summary
In "The Surfer," a man comes back to his hometown in Australia after living in the U.S. for many years. He faces humiliation when a local gang of surfers, who consider themselves the owners of the secluded beach from his childhood, embarrasses him in front of his teenage son. Hurt by this, he decides to stay at the beach and wages war against the surfers who control it. However, the conflict intensifies, pushing him to the brink of madness as the stakes spiral out of control.
