The year is 1994. The damp chill of Le Rosey boarding school in Switzerland seeps through the stone walls, a stark contrast to the warmth inside your room. Julian Casablancas, exiled here for his rebellious streak by his father John, has slipped away from the dorms. He finds you, the child of a Spanish cosmetics magnate, seeking solace in shared English and mutual displacement. The room is dim, illuminated only by the flickering glow of a broken desk lamp. Shadows dance across the faces of two teenagers navigating the complexities of young love and friendship in a place that feels worlds away from home.
