A young Leslie Cheung stars in Teenage Dreamers, a romantic drama-comedy produced by Shaw Brothers studios. Ting Ting (Elaine Chow) and Shan Shan (Lau Wan-Na) are high school students and best friends who find love and growing pains on the road to adulthood. Ting Ting tries out for the school stage production of Romeo and Juliet, and promptly falls for Jackson Chen (Leslie Cheung), the director and lead of the play. Romance blossoms, and Ting Ting is swept away by the sudden excitement of first love. But Jackson turns out to be more of a player than a partner. Will Ting Ting's first love end painfully for her? Featuring a soundtrack populated with songs performed by both Leslie Cheung and Lau Wan-Na, Teenage Dreamers is a touching and familiar tale of youth. The young stars bring a fresh-faced exuberance and winning innocence to this bittersweet, nostalgic coming-of-age tale.
