I did my year abroad in 2016 (Germany!) and this just brought it all back! The lazy days, the random people you meet and never see again, the sudden panic when you realise you're not doing much with your life and the drifters that will still be there in 10 years - it really captured everything. And most of all the bitter-sweet feeling that everything is temporary and every friendship and relationship has a designated end. I've never seen it done on screen before - so for me it was really nostalgic but also for anyone who hasn't had the opportunity, this really takes you through it. It was so atmospheric, at times had a bit of a Dazed and Confused vibe where you're just watching the teenagers interact and react, shot beautifully, so many different characters from different walks of life. I especially loved Oscar because he is just such a classic old school guy on the prowl no shame lol - there were quite a few self-aware jokes there. I saw it in the cinema which was a real treat, so especially recommend that if you get the chance, it's a nice film to share with people. Just loved it, it's fun, emotional, it's got it all!
