Synopsis

Violence, jealousy, desire and what it takes to hide who you are.

Based on the acclaimed play, "Drown" is a hard-hitting drama set against the iconic backdrop of Sydney's beaches. Len is a Surf Lifesaving champion, a legend in the cloistered surf club just like his father. But when the younger, faster, fitter Phil arrives at the club, Len's legendary status starts to crumble. Then Len discovers that Phil is gay.

"The film hinges on Levett's powerful performance."-Jennie Kermode, Eye for Film
