Description
A thought-provoking coming-of-age story, 'Youth' follows a teenage girl as she takes her first tentative steps toward adulthood in contemporary Cairo. Finding herself embarking into new territory at a social event, our protagonist ends up alone with a boy after they leave to get pizza together. The event causes an inner conflict, and independent of peer pressure or parental guidance—she must ultimately consider her own boundaries for the first time.
