Twelve and 3/4-year-old Lockie Leonard is a surf rat and when his family move to the most remote town on Earth, Angelus, Lockie's convinced that this is a total disaster — no friends, a new school and a house that is truly in danger of disappearing into a swamp. But then Lockie spots the one thing that makes it all okay. This weird little town has the best surf he has ever seen. Based upon the novels by Western Australian, Booker nominated author, Tim Winton. Filmed on the West Australian coast in the town of Albany. (52 x 24 min)
