Nick Twisp (Michael Cera) is an extremely gentle, kind and gentle teenager who spends most of his time alone in his room, listening to old records and avoiding his mother and her boyfriend. Tired of being a human doormat, this first look at Youth in Revolt depicts Nick forcing himself to become a man of action by creating an additional identity, an alter ego named Francois Dillinger – and he it will, technically, make Nick more confident. After hearing bad news from a police officer who destroys his mother, Nick returns to his room to find Francois, cute, stylish, direct and with a pencil-thin mustache, destroying his records, a symbol of adolescent ineffectiveness. He encourages Nick to act, to stand up, to go after what he wants. The adoption of Francois’s character is complete when, quickly, Nick flushes his mother’s jewelry city, cuts off her relatives and paints a bad phrase on her trailer.
