Movie description:
An unexpected first kiss causes Gabriel to feel the electrifying »jitters« of love and lust with the free-spirited Marcus; a perfect way to end a summer studying abroad. Realizing he is gay, Gabriel returns home and is immediately scrutinized by his family and friends who notice he’s different. But as the school year launches with Gabriel distracted with parties and his friends’ own dramas, Marcus returns, reigniting the hot, thrilling emotions of one’s first crush. Jitters fires head-first into the topsy-turvey world of first love with an attractive cast and pulsating soundtrack, making it a smartly refreshing journey into the queer, teen experience.
Gabriel is sixteen, gay and confused. Along with few of his closest friends, he is trying to figure out who he is and where he stands in an ever changing and complicated world.
The movie opens in an English language school in Manchester. Gabríel is introduced to Markús, his Icelandic room-mate for the next three weeks, and in that time they become close friends and discover a side of their selves they hadn’t dared to explore in their native surroundings. Back in Iceland and perhaps more confused than ever, Gabríel is re-united with his best friend Stella, a young girl who lives with her grandmother, and confides all her troubles to him.
The rest of the gang, all aged 16, are equally confused although perhaps less troubled than Stella and Gabríel. What they all have in common is their coming-of-age struggle in an age where the world moves at the speed of light and adult interferences seem less and less relevant to their reality.
