If youth is the season of hope, it is often so only in the sense that our elders are hopeful about us. And each crisis seems final simply because it’s new. – George Eliot Athens 2018. 42% of youth is unemployed. Five, young, non-actors are ‘waiting’ for their ‘adulthood’. They represent their own lives while they move through a fictional plot. Together they yearn to forget their idle futures while playing in luxurious airbnb’s. High on rooftops of different penthouses they look at the skyline of their city and dream about other worlds where things could be different.
