"Four seasons. One year. One unforgettable love."\*\*
**Remi Carter** (Jenna Ortega), a fiercely independent college senior, meets **Liam Matthews** (Jacob Elordi), a quiet, philosophical musician, during a chance encounter on the last day of winter in New York City. What begins as a fleeting moment turns into a life-changing journey as the two agree to meet once every season—**Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall**—no texts, no calls, no social media. Just the two of them, four times a year.
As the seasons pass, so do the emotional tides in their lives—family struggles, career dreams, heartbreaks, and self-discovery. The movie follows their evolving connection as it’s tested by time, distance, and the question of whether love can survive between the moments.
