Aside

A film about the lives of young people, cultural outcasts of the so-called "knowledge society", more than merely economic or social outcasts. The director never intervenes with direct questions, nor is there a spoken voice-over. All action is live and seen, rather than explained. The author intervenes only with his social and esthetic viewpoint; always completely alone with the real characters involved. The difficulties of finding a job and scraping together some money, the temptations of crime and its harsh consequences, the lack of culture and knowledge of the basics of life, are all intertwined in parallel lives.
