“Young Hearts” captures the pain and joy of falling in love for the first time in a beautifully filmed coming-out story. Set in a charming town in the Belgian countryside, the emotionally guarded fourteen-year-old Elias finds his world turned upside down when he meets his new neighbor and classmate, Alexander, who is an open book and confidently gay. As they adventure together around the idyllic countryside and become filled with emotions they are too young to fully comprehend, an innocent first love blossoms.
