Southerly

Synopsis

Young, impulsive Ada escapes Melbourne’s 2020 lockdown for a rural NSW coastal property, bringing with her a guitar, a phone addiction and growing dependence on alcohol.

After a heavy night of drinking, Ada wakes up in a nearby neighbour’s yard to discover a washed-up musician Josh, and, more importantly, his fully functioning music studio.

Sensing a chance to turn around an otherwise disappointing year, Ada decides to make some music with the help of a very reluctant Josh.

As they work together, Ada & Josh are forced to challenge each other, as well as themselves, ultimately finding the opportunity for the change they both need.
