Barely a teenager, Elias feels attracted to his new neighbor and classmate Alexander, and soon enough, realizes that he’s truly in love for the first time. But interactions with his friends and family bring more questions than answers and, confused by his burgeoning feelings, Elias tries to sort out his inner chaos to prove that he is worth Alexander’s heart. Directed by Anthony Schatteman and co-written by Lucas Dhont (director of MFF 2023’s CLOSER), YOUNG HEARTS is a warm and beautiful story of acceptance and love.
