About This Movie

The atmosphere is nostalgic, almost like a summer haze where everything feels both magical and fleeting. The performances from the young cast are surprisingly nuanced, adding depth to the familiar love triangle trope. There’s something about how it captures those fleeting moments of youth that feels authentic, even with practical effects being minimal.
