To me Kaula has had a soft spot for Manu for a long time. And so when he goes to see her, she's happy. When she see he's hiding a present behind his arms, she's happier. And when it turns out to be a flower, she's disappointed, but she doesn't want to hurt Manu's feelings. So she accepts it, thus encouraging Manu to pick even more flowers. Of course, for Manu it makes sense to pick flowers, because he knows how much Kaula loves the beauty of nature.
Yes! You put my ideas in words here! This is exactly it! :D
(Though I'm a bit hesitant in calling it love, since it involves 14-year olds. Affection may be a bit better).
I would like call it affection too. It's all pretty innocent, I think that way it works best to contrast with the "keeping up with the Joneses" behavior of the grownups.
I too would like a begin with Manu running, because it immediately shows action. Later one may add a shot of Kaula secretly looking at Manu's eco-friendly job.
Of what about starting with a shot of Manu planting a crop, looking over his shoulder where Kaula gives him a smiles at him from a distance. He revels in her attention a moment and is an incentive to go look for a gift - that rare special flower and off the action goes...
