While We're Young

"A rollercoaster road trip, fractured friendships, family strife and dreamy romance — this coming-of-age page-turner is a riotous riff on Ferris Bueller's Day Off."

Taking it’s cute and quirky cue from Ferris Bueller's Day Off, K.L. Walther’s While We’re Young sees four high-schoolers on the cusp of college enjoy an extraordinary day to remember when they take a day off school.   

While Grace has her future mapped out — she’s a straight-A student and the student president — she’s haunted by the fact that her one-time trifold friendship with Isa and Everett is broken, a result of the latter splitting up as a couple. So, she’s hatched an outlandish plan to get the old gang back together — they’ll take a day off school do something special.  

Grace’s scheme to make this happen is hilariously outlandish, and takes considerable commitment. Unlike her happy-go-lucky brother James, Grace never skips school, and neither does Isa. But somehow, she pulls it off, though she hadn’t anticipated James tracking them down, or the emotional twists and turns that unfold through the day.

With a cool concept and structure — the action takes place over a single day — While We’re Young explores the complex relationships between the quartet of characters in engaging style, revealing the rekindling of sibling connections and friendship bonds, while the flames of new romances are fanned.
