It's a moving film about two teens struggling with love and lust who eventually part ways because of the times (the 20s, pre-Depression) and their overwhelming and overbearing parents.
In order to please their parents and live up to the moral standards of the times, the boy chose to give up, and the girl had a nervous breakdown due to the unbearable pressure, and was sent to a mental hospital for convalescence, which eventually tormented them and changed them forever. So will they ever be able to feel true love again? At the end, the two meet again, both of them have settled for less, and both of them understand that time has changed everything. At the end, the girl remembered Wordsworth's poem again, and she finally understood the meaning of "splendor in the grass" that she couldn't understand in class years ago.
We are not together, you say you will be happy if you don't think about happiness, I ask: Are you happy now? , you said: not really, but it is close enough.
