Eleanor & Park

Set in Omaha, Nebraska, during the 1985-1986 school year, "Eleanor & Park" tells the tender, poignant story of two unlikely high school misfits who find love amidst their challenging lives. Eleanor Vance is the new girl, an overweight, red-headed teenager from a chaotic, impoverished home marked by domestic abuse. She immediately stands out and becomes a target for bullies. Park Sheridan, a half-Korean quiet kid with a passion for music and comic books, initially tries to avoid her. Forced to sit together on the school bus, their shared love for music and graphic novels slowly breaks down their walls. As their connection deepens, they navigate the complexities of first love, family struggles, social awkwardness, and the cruelties of adolescence. Their relationship becomes a sanctuary, a powerful escape from their respective troubled realities, but their journey is fraught with obstacles that threaten to tear them apart.
