Northern Irish actor, Louis McCartney, stars as grieving surfer Dondo, drifting on the waves of his surfboard, searching for his father who was lost at sea. Returning to school, he spends time with his confident and outspoken friend (and crush), Sas (Irish actor Ella Lily Hyland) and encounters a very oddly-behaved new minister on the island.

A wider ensemble cast makes up the charismatic village community, whose eccentricities and religious fervour make the film a colourful and creative, tongue-in-cheek look at the clash between tradition and teenage discovery.

Fresh from opening the Edinburgh Film Festival, this is a film with strong creative ties to Northern Ireland and will be it's Island of Ireland premiere.
