Greece 2011
«Wasted Youth» shows an irritating juxtaposition: the 16 year old Harris skates aimlessly through Athens with his friends while his mother is in the hospital, where he is not really drawn to; he’ll only fight with his father anyway. On the other hand Vassilis, a police officer in his late 30s, early 40s, has real problems: He has a wife, a daughter, and his mother also lives with them. The apartment is far too small, Vassilis works nights and doesn’t seem very satisfied with life.
