How far do you have to travel to find yourself? And what sacrifices are you willing to make to get there? Against the Current follows Veiga, the first person in the world to attempt to kayak over 2,000 kilometers around Iceland, counter-clockwise and "against the current." Her personal journey is no less remarkable. She was born a boy in a fishing village on the far west coast of Iceland. She had a wife and family but decided that she could no longer 
live as a man, and at the age of 38, decided to undergo gender reassignment. These two stories of conflict and struggle are intertwined as the film follows her amazing journey around Iceland, with the magical, rugged coastline of the country a backdrop to the story of her transition.
