Eva & Adam

62nd TIFF: Greek Premiere

Falling in love for the first time. How do you know? What do you do? When Adam starts a new school, he meets Eva. Suddenly, everything is different. Eva just sealed an anti-boy pact with her best friend Annika, because boys are all so immature. But nothing is as wonderful as your first love. And nothing is as hard. When Eva and Adam meet at Ryska Posten, they can’t stop their flood of emotions. Finally, they find the courage to choose what they want most of all: to love each other.
