The Young One (French Edition) Jeunesse
Zico yearns to be elsewhere and embarks on a freighter at Le Havre, but very soon tensions with the rest of the crew and repeated mishaps aboard put an end to his dreams of adventure. A battle starts with the elements and with the men’s ordeals.

Reviews
«Apaixonado pelo mundo marítimo, Julien Samani sabe filmar como ninguém o huis-clos angustiante de um barco onde tudo está à deriva, tanto os homens como o navio.»
Paris Match
«Uma odisseia alucinante, que oscila igualmente entre o romance impossível e a abstracção metafísica.»
Première
«Um cocktail inebriante de aventura.»
Damien Aubel, Transfuge
«[Juventude] tem uma atitude narrativa e um olhar que justifica ficarmos atentos ao que Julien Samani fará a seguir.»
Jorge Mourinha, Público
