Youth is a reflective drama set in the 1970s that follows a group of young military art troupe members, highlighting the unseen emotional and personal struggles behind their disciplined facade. Though the film focuses more on friendship and romance than military life, it effectively showcases the human side of soldiers through strong performances and a relatable narrative. Despite minor flaws in war effects and emotional depth, the film delivers a powerful message about sacrifice, making it a poignant tribute to the lives behind the uniform.
