An introverted high school flower enthusiast tries to win the affection of a love-hating visual artist by giving her flowers during key moments of her life. The movie follows their on-and-off friendship and romance from high school up until college, when the realities of life begin to unfold.
The Notebook
An epic love story centered around an older man who reads aloud to a woman with Alzheimer's.
