"The Graduates is a quiet, heart-wrenching journey of healing that’s also the discovery and wounded adjustment to a new normal and a journey to rebuilding a sense of self." - Next Best Picture

THE GRADUATES follows a young woman, Genevieve (breakout Mina Sundwall), as she prepares to graduate high school in the aftermath of a tragic event.
