Young Hearts (2025) is a tender coming-of-age drama about the confusion, excitement, and vulnerability of first love. Set in a small Flemish village, the story follows Elias, a thoughtful 14-year-old whose quiet life is upended when a new boy, Alexander, moves in next door. As their friendship grows, Elias begins to realize he’s experiencing romantic feelings for the first time and must confront his own fears, insecurities, and uncertainty about how others will react. With delicate performances and a sensitive gaze on adolescence, the film explores identity, self-discovery, and the courage it takes to open your heart. Written and directed by Anthony Schatteman, Young Hearts celebrates the beauty and awkwardness of youthful longing and emotional awakening
