Spoilers ahead
Nursery school teacher Jenny (Kelly Reilly) and her boyfriend Steve (Michael Fassbender) embark on a romantic getaway to a picturesque, secluded lake nestled in the lush English countryside. En route, they encounter a young boy who seems hesitant to engage with them. Upon their arrival at the beach, they hope for a day of relaxation, but their plans are swiftly disrupted by a rowdy group of teenagers accompanied by an unruly dog. Despite the chaos, Steve stubbornly opts to stay put, choosing to endure the loud music and disruptive antics rather than let the teens “intimidate” them into leaving.
