Most simply, it is an honest narrative about growing up and falling in love and how incredible but also inconvenient that can be when everything, from your age to your financial position goes against your being with that person. There is no shortage of this kind of story out there, perhaps because there is no shortage of this kind of pain and joy in real life. People need to make movies about it and people need to see them; both experiences can be healing and enlightening. It is a very special film.
