Whisper of the Heart

A precocious bookworm’s life gets a romantic nudge when a fellow student’s creative ambition collides with her own quiet musings. Between school corridors and neighborhood alleys, two beginners navigate the delicate arithmetic of first crushes. It clocks in just long enough to leave its gentle footprint before dissolving into memory.
