“Youth Is Wasted On The Young.”

Drama

Four sexually hungry high school students preparing for their university entrance exams meet up with an inebriated teacher singing bawdy drinking songs. This encounter sets them on a less than academic path.

VIBE

This film feels like a raw, unvarnished glimpse into youthful rebellion and burgeoning sexuality. It's provocative and unsettling, with a steady, observational pace. The folk-infused aesthetic and counter-culture sensibility create a melancholic, transgressive mood, exploring societal boundaries through the lens of student life.
