Where To Watch Backstroke

More details about Backstroke and where you can watch

Backstroke follows two runaway teenage girls who stop near a secluded forest lake while traveling alone. As they swim, one girl begins to assert dominance over the other, blurring the line between friendship and threat. The water becomes a metaphor for control, fear, and survival as power dynamics shift dangerously. With no adults present and no escape nearby, the situation escalates into psychological terror rather than physical violence. The film relies heavily on body language, silence, and natural sound to tell its story. Its unsettling ending leaves viewers questioning manipulation, consent, and how easily trust can turn into something sinister when isolation removes all safety.
