Introduced by Paul Massie.
At seventeen, life looks wonderful to two young Canadians; they are in love and both have part-time jobs to help them save. This film touches with understanding on many of the problems that face the teenager in Canada: the problems of adjustment to an adult world, of 'going steady', and of planning for a secure future in an insecure world.
