We are infinite.

Plot: An introvert freshman is taken under the wings of two seniors who welcome him to the real world.

Story: Based on the novel written by Stephen Chbosky, this is about 15-year-old Charlie (Logan Lerman), an endearing and naive outsider, coping with first love (Emma Watson), the suicide of his best friend, and his own mental illness while struggling to find a group of people with whom he belongs. The introvert freshman is taken under the wings of two seniors, Sam and Patrick, who welcome him to the real world.

Did you know: Though not explicitly shown on screen or mentioned, the film is set during the 1991-92 school year, just as it was in the book. Music, technology and clothing styles all reference this as well.
