In a small town, quiet boy Tom lives mostly in his own head, filling notebooks with poems and sketches no one sees. Then August appears-warm, mysterious, and unknowingly magnetic-and she becomes the center of his unspoken world. Their connection grows in fragments: shared silences in cafés, stolen moments in the rain, a sketch passed like a secret. But while Tom's feelings deepen, August's life drifts in and out of reach. Their story unfolds in almost-confessions, lingering glances, and letters never sent. As seasons pass, they navigate the fragile beauty of unrequited love-where hope lives in the spaces between words and goodbyes come without anger. Years later, fate brings them back together. What remains isn't romance, but something quieter: a mutual recognition of how they changed each other, and the peace that comes from letting go. Tender, intimate, and achingly honest, The Quiet Side of Love is a meditation on the kind of love that shapes us without ever becoming ours-and the art of carrying it forward without regret.

Is this just another summer job... or the start of something neither of them planned?
