Young & Beautiful

Young & Beautiful is a documentary that follows 4 young people who have chosen to live outside the paths preestablished by society. At a crucial moment in their lives, they begin to question their aspirations and face head-on a future that feels uncertain. Through intimate and honest conversations with the director, Navarrese filmmaker Marina Lameiro, they share doubts, longings and moments of reflection that paint a sensitive portrait of a generation in search of its own place in the world.

Synopsis: Poti, Nais, Ione and Das are young people who have decided to live on their own terms, but, as they approach their 30s, a deep sense of unease washes over them: they are still far from being the independent, confident and passionate adults they always dreamed of becoming. While society pushes them to abandon their selfish aspirations, each of them revisits their identity through dialogue. And so begins an intimate exchange between them and Marina, their friend and the director of this film.

Through the closeness of her camera, Marina accompanies them in the most lucid and fragile moments of their daily lives: dancing, waking up together, walking through beloved landscapes, letting themselves cry and laugh while, with complicity, they search for ways to remain true to themselves. Young & Beautiful is the multifaceted portrait of a generation accused of not wanting to grow up; a generation forced to accept a broken world and a country in crisis, in which it is proclaimed that the only way to survive is to abandon one's dreams.
