When filmmakers try, they end up failing awfully or providing an incomplete picture of the family in question. However, this is not so with the film, The Best of Youth.

The brothers make choices, some good while others are bad. Following them also leads to their different careers in the health care sector whereby drama seems to follow them. They make friends and connections. Some with normal people while others with the fellow patients. Their journey in and outside their careers, which change with time as one joins the army while another becomes lumberjack presents them with their lovers.
While all this takes place, one thing is evident, people learn as they grow. Situations also change people’s characters as politics and sexuality helps in changing the two brothers and others in the film. Apart from learning about the characters and their families, viewers also learn about politics in Italy since the film is set in this place (Giordana).
