About This Movie

The Surfers Are Coming is a film that captures the quiet tension of small-town life against the backdrop of the North Sea. It's a drama that explores the stirrings of young love and restlessness, as Anne and Niels-Peter's steady relationship is tested by the arrival of carefree German surfers.
