Runtime: 108
A story with and about high school students, which bears the imprint of the current reality of the problems faced by young people of the last generations: love, money, influence, drugs. The action unfolds on several levels, the characters, well defined, get into conflicts, find themselves in love and wake up in situations that sometimes seem desperate. The starting point is a crime whose perpetrator is initially unknown, but as the characters appear, they begin to reveal themselves, to interact and especially to act, the murderer always seems to be closer to being discovered. There is no lack of dramatic moments, suspense, humor, moralizing conclusions and, obviously, the completely unexpected end. A film that paints an intimate portrait of the young generation. The director manages to look with detachment but with a fine spirit of observation, without judging, however, drawing and transmitting consistent conclusions.

Although TheMovieDB might provide a key to a YouTube video, there is no guarantee that the video might be present at YouTube.
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
