This film is meant to be a dream of a memory, told from the point of view of a little boy, whose life is fragmented, jagged, intimidating, but also beautiful. I believe the feeling of being lost and adrift is a universal condition, even for those that may have never stepped foot outside of their home town - simply experienced and expressed in different ways. A Young Tough tackles this blurry feeling of being adrift in time and space, while clinging to the soft fabric of reality to stay close to the people around you; to try desperately to connect with the people around you, despite all the barriers, conflicts, and obstructions. This film attempts to shatter the concept of nationality and boarders, to recreate that feeling of tackling waves and drifting endlessly which has permeated my life. However vast the darkness, we must supply our own light.
