The Portuguese film The Mutants (Os Mutantes) starts with an astonishing sustained shot that becomes a sort of leitmotif in a film full of astonishing sustained shots. Writer-director Teresa Villaverde manages to meld stark documentary realism and touching lyricism as her camera follows three teenage runaways, two boys and a girl - the latter's strand almost entirely separate from the former's and much more engaging - and their hardships in what is a tragedy in the making. One experiment early on feels strange, and the middle is a little flabby (and boy-heavy), but for the most part, the film captures a sense of these teens at once being free AND lost, tempest-tossed but refusing to come into the harbor.
