Plot

The film, directed by Paul Thomas Anderson, is set in the San Fernando Valley of the 1970s and tells the story of a young high school student, fifteen-year-old Gary Valentine (Cooper Hoffman), with a career as an actor since childhood. On the day the yearbook photo is taken at school, Gary meets Alana Kane (Alana Haim), a girl several years older than him, who he is greatly impressed by. The two start dating and spending a lot of time together, becoming more and more friends, so much so that they end up starting a waterbed company, managed by Gary, but with Alana as an employee. We are in 1973 and these two young people live various adventures, running from one part of the city to the other, growing up day after day and falling in love, but there are certainly also some arguments.
