Alex is a champion swimmer determined to win selection to the 1960 Commonwealth Games. She is a teenage high achiever, and the film deals with themes of intense rivalry, ambition, first love and the pressures of growing up. The film was adapted from Tessa Duder's award-winning novel, which was the first in a quartet of Alex books. Lauren Jackson went on to a professional acting career, including film roles in The Tattooist and Perfect Creature. Alex was a co-production between NZ and Australia.
