The Ducks

Martin Batista, a special, fiery, intelligent, but peculiarly unhappy man, summarises several days and nights from a crucial period of his life. The high school years are a time of spontaneous vitality, rebellion, and coming of age; the time of reaching maturity, when uncontrollable anger, violence, vulgarity, resistance and disgust can erupt. Martin tells us that one needs to be true, genuine, and spontaneous. The more the world tries to alter you, the more you have to try to live with what you believe and feel – with yourself in the world.
