What to watch: Young Hearts
A film by Anthony Shatteman that explores the emotional roller-coaster of falling in love.
Young Hearts is the feature debut of Anthony Shatteman.
Exploring the emotional roller-coaster of falling in love for the first time, the story focuses on 14-year-old Elias (Lou Goossens). When new neighbours move in next door, Elias quickly falls for Alexander (Marius De Saeger). It's the first time that Elias has felt powerful emotions such as this and he struggles to navigate relationships with friends and family as he wrestles with his inner chaos.
A Flemish-language film set in Belgium, Shatteman brings a European sensibility to the portrayal of burgeoning teenage sexuality within the structure of a Bildungsroman story.
It's a watchable film that reminds us of the power of allowing ourselves to feel our emotions and be ruled by our hearts.
Young Hearts is distributed by Peccadillo Pictures
