VIBE

This film offers a tender, bittersweet journey through the awkward beauty of adolescence. It feels like a warm, melancholic hug, exploring the fragile complexities of friendship, first love, and the quiet struggles of finding your place. The 90s setting adds a layer of wistful nostalgia to its deeply empathetic and intimate emotional landscape.
