enviable youth

A friendship in London begins with falling in love with the same French waitress. Two 15- and 6-year-olds, one Polish immigrant and the other Nottingham. The former is silent, shy and calm, while the latter is talkative and outgoing and restless. The two children have a strong personality contrast, but it does not affect their friendship at all. I don't think this experience will happen to us, for two reasons:
1. Nottingham people run away from home to London, I think you must have been taught to make friends with good kids?
2. What were you doing when you were 15 or 6 years old? Just kidding, reviewing the high school entrance examination! Well, so there is definitely not a lot of free time to experience a different kind of youth.
The movie is only over an hour and the picture is black and white (bought a d9, fortunately there are many tidbits). After the two protagonists met, they did some ridiculous things, and at the same time fell in love with a beautiful French waitress (about 10 years older than them). I think, this should have happened in our elementary school. I don't want to find out whether we matured 5 or 6 years earlier than others or whether education has ripened our youth for 5 or 6 years? But one thing can be confirmed is that the two boys in the film have no pressure at all, they are so relaxed and carefree. The black and white pictures and dv-like shooting techniques also continue this kind of relaxation, and with the British-style music, you can relax for an hour as much as you can.
The movie ends with a color shot. That's a sweet dream shared by the two boys, right?
