Movie description:
A love story located in a suburb of Helsinki. Jukka is thirteen and a casualty from school yard bullying. Motivated by goodwill, he steps forward to protect Johanna from regular persecution by a drunken stepfather. Johanna is nineteen and fives in the opposite block of flats. At school, guided by Martti, a gay art teacher with paternal sentiments, Jukka discovers photography. Benefiting from his photographic skills Johanna achieves her ambition to be a model and, with the aid of Jukka’s pictures, she wins a beauty contest. Consumed with the confidence of success, Jukka falls in love with Johanna but she rejects him. When Martti’s health takes a turn for the worse, Jukka feels abandoned by everyone.
»Young Love« is a story about how to learn to love and survive in a world of adult pain.
»Young Love« follows the events revolving around a precocious but lonely 13-year-old’s fixation on an unhappy young woman seven years his senior. When Johanna finds out that Jukka has been spying on her by means of his estranged father’s video camera, her initial fury fades after Jukka convinces her she could establish a career in modeling. Johanna, tough-as-nails and bitter after years of abuse from her stepfather, manages to take Jukka’s advice. Unfortunately for Jukka, once Johanna is absorbed into the modeling world, he is left behind. The only advice he has comes from his no-nonsense gay art teacher, who has much to say on the topic of homophobia, and what constitutes love in general.
