Movie description:
»Young Light« is a movie about innocence, sex and violence in the Ruhr district of the 1960’s. The story, told with laconic humor, is about a 12-year old son of a miner and his first contact with the adult world, which he observes with subtlety, but without understanding it. Confronted with illness and death, guilt and repentance, erotic temptations, and a completely new feeling of freedom, the boy lives through a summer where everything changes – and yet remains the way it is.
