youth days

     
 

At the kickoff of the 12th "youth days – International Youth Film Competition" Lale and her four sisters rebel in the Turkish drama MUSTANG against the ever more brutal disciplinary tactics of their uncle. Tommy and Julia in THE REAL LIFE from Germany have somewhat different problems. They want to raise a child against the will of their parents, which poses not just financial challenges. In the Italian comedy SHORT SKIN 17-year-old Edoardo is struggling with his phimosis, while Latvian MODRIS has to deal with compulsive gambling, a lack of perspective and the police. In the Canadian entry SURFACING Sam tries to ignore the teasing of her class mates and get over it with the help of new contacts, while NENA encounters a summer of highs and lows, which she will never forget. The Israeli drama BARASH follows Naama’s life coming apart, when a new girl joins her school and she really falls in love for the first time. Ras, Calvin and their passion for graffiti and freedom are in the center of LOS HONGOS from Colombia. It remains to be seen, which of the exciting stories will be the favourite of youth jury as well as audiences. Cash prizes of 3,500 EUR are waiting for the winners – including the awards in the WIESBADEN YOUTH FILM COMPETITION for young local talents.
