Elias (14) feels attracted to his new neighbour Alexander (14). Soon he realizes that he's truly in love for the first time. The interactions with his friends and family bring more questions than answers. Confused by his burgeoning feelings, Elias tries to sort out his inner chaos to prove that he is worth Alexander’s heart.

ಹದಿನಾಲ್ಕು ವರ್ಷ ವಯಸ್ಸಿನ ಎಲಿಯಾಸ್‌, ಪಕ್ಕದ ಮನೆಯ ಅಲೆಗ್ಸಾಡರ್ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಆಕರ್ಷಿತಳಾಗುತ್ತಾಳೆ. ಜೀವನದಲ್ಲೇ ಮೊದಲ ಬಾರಿಗೆ ನಾನು ಪ್ರೀತಿಸುತ್ತಿದ್ದೇನೆ ಎಂದು ಅವಳು ಅರಿತುಕೊಳ್ಳುತ್ತಾಳೆ. ಈ ವಿಷಯವನ್ನು ಸ್ನೇಹಿತರು ಮತ್ತು ಕುಟುಂಬ ವರ್ಗದವರೊಂದಿಗೆ ಹಂಚಿಕೊಂಡಾಗ ಉತ್ತರಕ್ಕಿಂತ ಪ್ರಶ್ನೆಗಳೇ ಹೆಚ್ಚಾಗಿ ಬರುತ್ತವೆ. ಬಲಿಯುತ್ತಿರುವ ತನ್ನ ಭಾವನೆಗಳ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಗೊಂದಲಕ್ಕೀಡಾದ ಎಲಿಯಾಸ್‌, ತನ್ನೊಳಗೆ ಬಲಿಯುತ್ತಿರುವ ಭಾವನೆಗಳನ್ನು, ಆಂತರಿಕ ಗೊಂದಲಗಳನ್ನು ಒರೆಗೆ ಹಚ್ಚುತ್ತಾಳೆ. ಅಲೆಗ್ಸಾಂಡರ್‌ನ ಹೃದಯಕ್ಕೆ ತಾನು ಹತ್ತಿರವಾದವಳು ಎಂಬುದನ್ನು ಸಾಬೀತು ಪಡಿಸಲು ನಿರ್ಧರಿಸುತ್ತಾಳೆ.
