From now on the hair must be short and well combed, the nails must remain clean and the fingers must not become yellow for the nicotine. The work will involve you both mentally and physically, the advice given is to be as little as possible influenced by the festive atmosphere that reigns around it. These are some of the rules that Luca, a shy fourteen year old with a wild soul, must learn to respect in order to survive at the hotel boarding school. The family urged him to join the institute so that he could learn the trade as quickly as possible. Luca comes from a mountain village in the Alps, he grew up walking in the woods and taking care of the family’s livestock.

Declaration
film director
“The Young Observant, second chapter of a film trilogy on adolescence, is focused on the changes that a boy experiences while confronted to the first forms of discipline. During a vocational training course, he refines his gestures, his techniques and, most of all, his character. The film tells the story of that delicate moment of awareness in every teenager’s life, during which some physical and personality traits, even if only slightly mentioned, give gradually shape to adult life.”
