Age of love
Early Concept
Age of Love is a coming-of-age story set in early 1990s Britain, at the moment rave culture surged through the country and reshaped a generation.
At a traditional British Public School, four boys move through a world of tradition and quiet expectation. They are not overt rebels; they simply do not fit the mould. They are neither the confident elite nor the sporting heroes. What they feel instead is a persistent restlessness, a sense that the life being prepared for them does not quite belong to them.
Like the students in Dead Poets Society, they stand between conformity and awakening. They crave something that feels authentic and immediate, something that is theirs rather than inherited.
Through record shops, pirate radio and whispered recommendations, they discover the emerging rave scene. In dark warehouses and open fields, beneath strobes and the aura of the music, they encounter a culture where class and status momentarily dissolve. On the dance floor, hierarchy collapses. Belonging is instant. For the first time, they are not outsiders.
At its heart, Age of Love is about the universal need to belong. It follows four ordinary boys searching for identity and connection, discovering a culture that feels like home but is it forever or just as passing moment in their youth?
