Dennis' awkward friend, Warren, drops by after being kicked out of home with a suitcase packed with $15,000 stolen from his abusive lingerie-tycoon father.Dennis, the more manipulative and domineering of the two, hatches a plan - spending some of the money on cocaine, hoping to sell it to a friend of his for much more. When the object of Warren's affection, the gorgeous Jessica Goldman, arrives, things really get complicated.

This is our Youth is a funny clever fast paced black comedy that explores the timeless issues of lost adolescence and maturity as well as the Reagan Era in which it takes place - where power and greed are replacing the 1960s-style liberalism the characters were brought up to believe in.

Funny, painful, and compassionate, this is our youth is a living snapshot of the moment between adolescence and adulthood.
