You think summer is over

At first, the story was just a simple attraction in summer. There are sunshine, beaches, surfing boys, the confusion and reluctance at the end of summer vacation, the guessing and separation of lovers, the beginning of temptation and the desire to talk. There is also the passion and sweetness later... Oh, yes, it's just that both of them are boys.
Zack is like many boys in seaside towns. He likes surfing and skateboarding. He does work that he doesn't like. He has an incompetent sister and a nephew who sees himself as a role model. He always waits for nothing. The girlfriend who apologized to her, he has extraordinary talent for drawing but refused the admission notice of the art school for some reason. In short, he was as uneasy and disappointed as the dry wind of summer, just like every summer in the past. Between him and Shaun, he is a protected object. They surf, walk, cook, and talk on the walkie-talkie together. They hug, cry, quarrel, compromise, and comfort like all lovers. Their summer seems to be because they met It became a little less calm after each other. If it is not because they are gay, then this movie is simply a meaningless outline, it only records the fragmentation of countless teenagers in the past countless summers; but even if they are gay, their summers can't help but feel that Familiar, just like in "The Blue Door", they sat on the side of the road, leaning on their bicycles, and muttered: "Look, summer is almost over, but it seems that nothing has been done..."
We just vaguely I remember the bits and pieces in the heat, let time slip away with nothing to do, maybe vaguely remember chatting with whom and so and so on, and stumbled home in the alley after being drunk, and watched a few scenes. Movies with unclear plots, I've heard a few records that forget the melody and only smell, oh, maybe there was a light love, but oh sorry I forgot his/her phone number, you see, summer always It makes people forget quickly...
but, when we forget it without noticing it and waving our hands, it is every summer that makes us grow up.

    That bed scene was so wonderful, and the music was so punctual
