What’s the vibe?
Minimalist, emotionally sharp, and full of unease in the best way. This isn’t your average coming-of-age story—it’s a slow burn through awkward silences, subtle power shifts and the wilderness of teenage self-discovery. Think Boyhood meets The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner, but in hiking boots.

Scene to watch for
That moment when a seemingly harmless joke tips the entire dynamic—without anyone raising their voice. It's awkward, brilliant, and chilling.
Recommended pairing
Pack a thermos and take a long walk in the woods beforehand. Afterwards, grab a bowl of something warm and introspective—like lentil soup or your go-to comfort food.
