The story
Remi and Barnes, two very different teenagers, meet by chance in the winter of their senior year, then spend four days together over the course of a year that will change their lives forever.
What it’s like
Open-hearted and tender, with a warm, admiring gaze on its two young leads as they drift from a chance meeting into something that feels like it could change them. The title's seasonal turn suggests a structure that moves through the year in clear stages, so the mood shifts with the weather: frosty early scenes giving way to looser, sunnier days. Its register is earnest and sentimental, more interested in glances, awkward pauses and the small hopes of being seventeen than in spectacle. The emotional stakes are personal and high-feeling rather than physical, with little sense of danger or cruelty, and any sexual content stays understated and on the side of intimacy. It suits a rainy weekend, a comfort watch with someone you're close to, or a late evening when you want a romance that feels sincere and a little wistful without being bleak. It is for viewers who enjoy coming-of-age love stories, gentle drama about first serious feelings, and the bittersweet pull of time passing between two people who are still figuring out who they are.
