Goog’s coastal journey is framed as a movement towards adulthood, with responsibility and independence developing amid travel and trouble.
Goog, Castro and Aldo travel together, while the journey tests their relationships through excitement and danger.
Surfing action and encounters with sharks, a threatening hitchhiker and neo-Nazis place the characters in risky situations; revenge is named among Goog’s lessons.
