Impression of Youth

When art graduate student Yu Xing’s graduation project is rejected, his mentor sends him to a remote coastal town to find inspiration — and a temporary teaching gig at the local high school. There, he meets Xu Lu Hui, a passionate but underprivileged student whose raw talent and unguarded enthusiasm shake Yu Xing out of his creative rut. As the two bond over late-night sketching sessions and beachside walks, a tender, forbidden romance blossoms. But with Yu Xing still technically Lu Hui’s teacher and the town’s quiet judgement lurking, their connection forces both to confront what they’re willing to risk for art — and for each other. Meanwhile, Lu Hui’s older brother, a homestay owner, finds unexpected love with a grieving cafe owner. Beautifully shot and brimming with warmth, *Impression of Youth* is a slow-burn tale of first love, second chances, and the moments that leave an indelible mark on our hearts.
