A warm, playful 1950s coming-of-age romcom about friendship, first love, and teenage rebellion, built on nostalgia and youthful optimism.

1956: The shy Jonathan's luck with girls changes when he wins the rebellious Gene as a friend in his last year of high school. Gene is adored by many girls and manages to teach Jonathan a few lessons. Gene himself would rather just be with one girl: his girlfriend Bunny. But since his father is poor, her parents don't accept him.
