“He was 15. She was 40. Love is where you find it.”

DramaRomance

A lonely 40-year old woman finds herself shattering taboos by falling in love with the 14-year old Julien – but is it romance, or a desperate attempt to turn back time in the face of middle age?

VIBE

A wistful, introspective journey through the haze of memory and the ache of unfulfilled desires. It feels like a tender, melancholic echo of youth, tinged with the bittersweet realization of time's relentless march.
