Plot

Immersed in the world of surf, 'Newcastle' unravels a poignant coming-of-age tale entwined with familial complexities. At its heart is 17-year-old Jesse, who navigates life in the looming shadow of his older brother Victor's unfulfilled dreams of becoming a surfing sensation. Even against the remarkable backdrop of resplendent surf breaks, the relentless reminders of his destined blue-collar future are etched into the horizon by the ceaseless parade of coal barges. Jesse possesses an innate prowess to ride the waves to international recognition, yet battles his inherent propensity for self-destruction. A consequential weekend getaway with his friends, steeped in the intoxicating brew of first love and heart-wrenching tragedy, propels him towards a crucial self-realization. This awakening of what truly matters in life leads him to deliver the performance of a lifetime. 'Newcastle' is a compelling narrative of youth, aspiration, and the struggle to escape one's predetermined path, set against the vibrant canvas of the surfing world.
