THE DAY TRIP - Evidence number 3

A group of guys decided to celebrate the end of summer with a trip to the beach and to tell it through a camera.
The video shows in chronological order the pass off of the day, by the arrival on the beach, until the time to go back home:
Games, jokes, first loves, the spontaneity of a group of todays teenagers .
But, as often it happens in amateur movies, the camera captures a lot more images of what the eyes can catch, details that habit and everydays life makes trite and uninteresting.
Fragments of a much more complex and disturbing reality.
