And The Going is Good is a short film in three chapters about pride, power and stopping while the going is still good.

The three chapters (Water, Tent and Bedsit) each let us take part in a short and rather intimate situation in a young girls everyday life, where her pride or sense of power is challenged. In Water our main character digs herself deep into humiliation as she tries to keep her pride after an unfortunate accident while playing. In Tent we meet Mo as she is pushing boundaries, and finds one. And Bedsit portrays the balance of power between two teenage friends.
