Where We Mend

In late 1970s England, Ethan, a reserved high school senior, lives suffocated by the weight of family expectations and the fear of not being "normal".
His silences hide episodes of self-harm, the only way he knows to cope with a constant sense of inadequacy.

His encounter with Noah, a charismatic and curious aspiring musician who dreams of university in London, upends his routine.
Between lectures, afternoons spent in record stores, and long walks in the rain, a shy bond is born, made of restrained glances and words never fully spoken.

When they both transfer to the same university, their closeness transforms into something deeper, but also more dangerous: in an era when homosexuality is still a taboo, exposing oneself means risking judgment, isolation, and even violence.
Ethan struggles to accept himself and believe he deserves love, while Noah tries to teach him that respect-for oneself first and foremost-is a form of courage.

Surely tho, there's not always an happy ending.
