Plot

In this deliciously dark comedy, Head Above Water, Supreme Court Judge George and his strikingly younger wife, Nathalie, escape to her family's quaint summer abode nestled on a secluded island. Here, their solace is disturbed by the arrival of her childhood confidant, Lance, who whisks George away for an innocent fishing expedition. Meanwhile, Nathalie's past unexpectedly resurfaces as her former lover, Kent, makes a surprise appearance. Following a night steeped in alcohol and reminiscence, Nathalie wakes to a horrifying scene - Kent, lifeless and naked, sprawled across her bed. This ghastly revelation coincides with the return of her husband and Lance. In her panic, Nathalie hurls the body into hiding, unknowingly setting in motion a chaotic chain of events. As the truth unravels, each character becomes entangled in a twisted plot of body disposal and a desperate search for answers to the mysterious demise of Kent. The film's allure lies in its uncanny ability to juggle suspense, comedy, and a murder mystery, making it a unique cinematic experience that captivates until the very end.
