SYNOPSIS

​

A Hard landing deals with an educational centre where about 10 youngers between 13 and 16 with a bad track record, are placed on the decision of a juvenile magistrate for a preliminary period of 6 months. The mutually exclusive words « closed » and « educational » sum up the project’s ambiguity. Filmed over three weeks, while the crew lived in the centre, telling the story of those who live there. A Hard Landing tackles the problem of juvenile offenders from a new angle, that of dialogue and reconstruction, with eyes fixed firmly on the future.
