Who are the children of today? What are they? Where do they go? What do they do?
Bajan Andrea, class '75, curious to give a face and a voice that is so unknown to the generation there is much talk, try to understand better the mystery of these aliens that disturb our consciences, following them like the biblical epic of notorious end of year school trip. The experiment is conducted with three schools plumb the many focal points of the country (Turin, Florence and Palermo) and involves the fifth of their high school classes. Destinations are chosen for the transmigration of the weekly Paris and Prague. After a timid start in the ranks of students celebrating deadwood on board the bus turned into old hippie vans or, depending on the circumstances, wandering in dormitories, Bajan discovers, or rather, rediscovered, a world of joys and disappointments, small hopes and big dreams, new slang chanted to the rhythm of songs from old iPod and concerns rose to the rank of inter-generational classic. But, more importantly, reveals the secret of a world after all not so distant from that of his eighteen years and he does it with absolute sincerity, without falling victim to the prejudices of the mass media which children today seem to be prey.
What is a lucid writer, but had fun on the future of Italian society and its immediate past (teachers, loving fathers from the frustrated look on where the ax falls compassionate and soft analyzer) in order to undermine from any form of stereo image of a generation seemingly so distant, and is controversial. On the other hand, as a generation was not?
