Tyger (18) cheats his way through life with charm and humor, always taking the easy way out for fear of really wanting something.
For him, the world is a giant candy store, and life seems too short and expensive to be able to taste everything. He does neither what his parents nor what his teachers want, because responsibility and expectations are a cage from which it is difficult to escape. In the end, he has to learn that someone who only thinks about his own fun ends up alone.
Phoebe (18) believes that the world and she herself are living works of art, formed from pain and passion, which can only unfold their beauty through perfect staging. She dreams of becoming a singer-songwriter legend. But nobody takes her seriously, and especially her family has other ideas for her. Eventually, she has to give up her easy life and worldview to grow into her new future. From their first meeting at the club, there is an electrifying attraction between the two, and they are arrogant enough to believe that a little romance with an expiration date can't hurt either of them.
For Phoebe, the film is a tear-jerking musical about growing up; for Tyger, it's more of a wild comedy that sometimes goes too far for him. But for me, the film embodies the feeling of being young and alive.
