Young Hearts

Young Hearts (2024) is a Belgian coming-of-age drama you can watch online on iFILM. Fourteen-year-old Elias has a quiet life in his small village — until a family from Brussels moves in next door and he meets Alexander, his same-age neighbor.

Lou Goossens plays Elias; Marius De Saeger plays Alexander, confident and at ease in a way Elias has never seen up close. Director Anthony Schatteman's 97-minute film does not rush toward conclusions. It lets Elias sit with what he is feeling and does not explain it for him. The result is an unhurried portrait of a boy encountering something he has no name for yet. Stream Young Hearts online on iFILM.
