Young Hearts

A gentle and sincere story of queer love between two young teenage boys, told with warmth and humour.

In the middle of the school year, 14-year-old Elias meets his confident, headstrong new neighbour, Alexander. Elias enjoys spending time with him, but confused and afraid of how others might, he keeps his burgeoning romantic feelings to himself. Struggling with questions and inner turmoil, Elias sets out to understand his emotions - and prove that he is worthy of Alexander’s heart.

Young Hearts is a tender and heartfelt story of first love, self-discovery, and acceptance, bathed in a golden summer glow. Anthony Schatteman’s debut feature is a gentle and sincere story of queer positivity and coming out in a supportive environment, told with warmth and humour.
