From acclaimed Hollywood actor director James Franco comes a stunning work of fiction - the
coming-of-age of a whole generation. PALO ALTO traces the lives of an extended group of
teenagers as they experiment with vices of all kinds struggle with their families and one
another and succumb to self-destructive often heartless nihilism. Franco presents a stark
vivid disturbing but above all compassionate portrait of lives on the rough fringes of
youth.
