BOYS
Behind the thick walls of a juvenile detention center, the youth of a group of marginalized teenagers is unfolding. Will Krzysiek and his friends believe that there is a place for them in society? This vérité documentary attempts to overcome established social and film clichés in depicting underprivileged young people as criminals. It is also a tender story about stalled youth, growing up and trying to find one's place in the world.
