Garrison and Kevin live in a small desert town with nothing to do. In foreclosed homes and deserted underpasses they create their own fun and avoid the realities of being an adult. Skye is strong-willed, beautiful and wise beyond her years. She’s trying to fight bank managers from taking the house her grandparents raised her in. Over one last summer of first loves and heartbreaks, friendship and self-made adventure, these three teenagers find everything they knew beginning to transform before their eyes. An incredibly intimate, candid and instantly relatable portrait of a moment in life we’ve all shared, this is a film that will be close to people’s hearts. Only the Young is a staggeringly beautiful story of male teenage friendship, the complications of young love and the moment life moves from the stability of childhood into an ever-changing adult world.
