About:
The Youth Today follows Laura, a young woman recovering from burnout and social anxiety, who has retreated to her family’s summer house by the coast. When her mother pressures her to “move on,” and her best friend pushes her to rejoin normal life, Emma feels increasingly trapped between expectations and her own limits. A chance encounter with Henning, an elderly local, leads to an unexpected friendship — and helps Emma rediscover the quiet strength in simply being herself.
