Storyline:
They were inseparable once... Now, they’re strangers with shared memories.

Jeunesse, mon amour brings together a circle of old high school friends, now in their mid-to-late twenties, for a casual reunion in the countryside. Once defined by carefree summers, secrets, and first love, they now find themselves navigating adult lives filled with distance, compromise, and quiet regrets.

As they reminisce, flirt, fight, and reflect, the film explores how youth leaves its imprint, and how even after years apart, certain emotions — especially first love and unfinished friendship — never fully fade.

They came to remember... But found who they’ve become.
