Elio returns home after three years and finds Maren beneath the first new leaves of spring. Their reunion is tense, shaped by the words Elio never said and the hurt Maren never voiced. As the season deepens, the new leaves mirror the fragile renewal between them, forcing both boys to face why Elio left—and whether something real can grow again.
