They say that adolescence is a time for discovery and anxiety. As Max well knows. Fourteen-year-old Max’s life has just taken an unexpected turn: his father has been given the job of fixing a lighthouse on a remote island and his whole family will be living there for several months. Just when Max was beginning to make friends at school—although one group of his classmates have taken it upon themselves to teach him (more like torture him) about ‘body shaming’; just when Max had begun a special relationship with a girl—although they haven’t had time to give a name to what they feel; just at that moment he now has to leave it all behind and start a new life that nobody asked him if he wanted. But what Max doesn’t know is that adolescence is the time for that first love, the most intense feeling that leaves its mark on you forever.
