Drinkwater is a quirky homage to 80's teen coming-of-age films about friendship, parental mishaps, and trying your best to survive high school. In small-town British Columbia, Canada, awkward teen Mike Drinkwater has trouble fitting in. Hank, his offbeat father, spends more time living in his own delusional world than paying attention to his son. Mike's lack of direction takes a turn when he meets Wallace, a new girl from the US. Over the course of Mike's final semester, Wallace helps Mike train for an annual cross-country race, while Mike guides Wallace through an unfamiliar, Canadian experience. The film is filled with a balance of humor and emotional moments that mirror our main characters' friendship. Drinkwater is a love letter to small-town life and quirky family moments that have resonated with audiences for decades. Although the film is set in 2020, it harks back to simpler times and captures the nostalgia of 80's small-town Canada.
