Two teenagers are sledding down a steep snow-covered hill, when one of the boys crash-lands. Bystanders come to his aid. The two lads get invited to the apartment of their young adult rescuers. It all happens against the picturesque back-drop of a snow-covered townscape with revellers celebrating New Year. One gets the feeling that most of the people in the apartment are somewhat bored and just trying to kill time. However, it wouldn't remain quiet for long: The lads would be in for an interesting evening, where they would be introduced to the 'pleasures' of grown-ups: liquor, dope, and, it is hinted, even sexual adventures. And, as in real life, also learn about disappointments.
This film reminds me of the excellent Mexican film, 'Duck Season', where a few bored youngsters try to kill time, and in the process gain experience about real life.
Technically speaking, 'A Night Too Young' is an accomplished work with atmospheric cinematography and soundtrack. I found the acting of the mainly young cast also above average. The film runs for 65 minutes; it is just the right length to keep one's interest.
I score this engrossing little film a good 7/10.
