Each break, Alec comes back from college to visit his friends Matt and Cole. They get drunk, high, and party. However, Alec notices Matt and Cole's lives are stagnating by doing harder drugs and constantly getting into deeper trouble.
The Doldrums beautifully captures the struggles of youth, friendship, and the harsh realities of life through Alec's eyes. The film effectively combines a powerful script with brilliant performances, particularly by Mathew Hadley, to delve into the emotional complexities of coming of age amidst chaos. Director Leonardo Nussenveig masterfully portrays the raw and gritty nature of stagnation in small-town life. The engaging narrative and compelling characters keep you invested from start to finish, making it a must-watch drama.
