A day in the life of two ‘20-something’ friends, Sebastian and Noel, who work at a public pool. The film focuses on a transition period as Noel is about to move away to another state, prompting Sebastian to question his future and wonder if he’ll ever be able to move beyond this summer job in his hometown.

Against the Current is a slice-of-life, coming-of-age story that captures the anxieties and uncertainty of being a young adult and searching for a purpose in life. The film is a brief insight into letting fear control your future, being stuck in the town you grew up in, and feeling aimless and lost. Against the Current has humour and levity but is a relatable story with a strong heart.
