Wasted Youth

About This Movie

Wasted Youth is one of those slow-burn dramas that captures the essence of aimlessness. You’ve got Harris, a teenager just skateboarding around Athens with his friends, living in that fleeting moment without a care. Then there's Vassilis, the cop stuck in a rut, feeling the weight of his mundane life. The film contrasts the youthful exuberance of Harris with the middle-aged frustration of Vassilis, creating this palpable tension. The atmosphere is gritty, almost raw, with a sense of realism that makes you feel the streets of Athens. The pacing is deliberate, allowing you to soak in the visuals and emotions. Performances are grounded; they really draw you into their worlds. It’s intriguing how the film plays with themes of disillusionment and the search for meaning in everyday life.

Themes of disillusionment and youthful rebellion. · Gritty atmosphere reflective of Athens. · Contrasting character arcs: teen versus middle-aged cop.
