Young Hearts

"Young Hearts is a Belgian-Dutch LGBTQIA+ coming-of-age film that essentially deals with the discovery of sexuality and young love. The story follows Elias (Lou Goossens), a boy who leads a relatively calm life: he goes to school, hangs out with his friends and girlfriend, and returns home to his family. Everything changes when a new family moves in across the street, and he meets Alexander (Marius De Saeger), a boy whose confident attitude and self-assurance make him question everything. It's a simple narrative that borders on the conventional but stands out due to its direction and sensitive performances, particularly by the young Goossens, who virtually carries the film with his face. With this, the production makes the feeling transcend the screen, allowing the audience to relive the emotions of young love once again. Check out the complete review for Young Hearts."
