´'t Spoor 1´ is the youth section of a psychiatric unit in the Antwerp Stuyvenbergh hospital. Eight youngsters are treated here residentially. The youngest one is twelve years old, the oldest one is sixteen. They are all disturbed and have somehow derailed early on in their life. They have a psychiatric problem and they committed criminal offences, often very serious ones. Life is well structured in the unit, therapy is confronting. A spark can lead to firework. therapists and educators follow the youngsters closely in their progression and regresssion. The VRT-Canvas series ´Kwesties´ (questions) filmed these young people for a week. They ought to have a future, but carry the burden of their past already. How innocent is today's youth? When you are a perpetrator, when do you become a victim?
