Spoiler shield

It is said that if one succeeds in catching a falling leaf mid-flight, then a wish will be granted. Leung and Will, two teenagers, venture into the woods to catch themselves a wish, but Leung longs for something that Will isn't willing to give. A touching tale about the anxiety and excitement of a boy wanting to kiss his best friend.

“Some stories are better left unspoiled.”
