Drama movie with retrospections leitmotiff, train scene and strange boys

My friend looks for a movie. It was about a man who was returning to the town where he had moved as a teenager (probably around 15-18 years old). The film was mainly about his memories (retrospection). I remember that there was a team of boys from his class, and the brother of their “leader” had autism (if I remember correctly). The scene that stuck in my mind the most was when this particular brother stepped into the path of an oncoming train at the railway station, and the “leader” of these boys (i.e. his brother) took it coldly. There was also a love story, and the main character’s friend was also important. I don’t remember much else… I watched it on TV a long time ago.
