    It’s impossible to ignore the importance of youth. When we’re young, we’re like giant sea sponges with scabby knees; we have the astonishing ability to soak up so much material in so little time. However, the thing about sea sponges is that once it has absorbed something, only so much can be wrung back out. That is why the experiences of our youth are so important, because no matter how hard you squeeze, you will carry the remnants of your past with you for the rest of your life. In the film…
