Graduation (2016)

Dr. Romeo Aldea, a physician nestled within a dreary mountain town in Transylvania, grapples with the tarnished remains of his idealism and a stagnant marital bond. His life's aspirations are pinned on the success of his only daughter, Eliza, who he's meticulously groomed to leave their bleak existence behind and embark on a journey of knowledge and self-discovery. His dreams are on the brink of reality as Eliza, a dedicated and diligent student, secures a scholarship to study Psychology at the prestigious University of Cambridge in England. All that stands between her and a promising future are her final exams - seemingly a mere formality for an exceptional student like her. However, fate cruelly twists when Eliza becomes the victim of a traumatic assault the day before her first written exam, leaving her shaken and her writing hand fractured. The incident threatens to obliterate her dreams and shatter Romeo's hopes of elevating his daughter beyond their humble circumstances. The encroaching application deadline ignites a desperate resolve in Romeo, forcing him to confront the erosion of his moral compass. Caught between his steadfast principles and the overwhelming desire to secure his daughter's future, Romeo contemplates the unthinkable - bending the rules and dabbling in the very system he's spent a lifetime striving to escape. This moral conundrum raises the question - does the end truly justify the means? A poignant exploration of parental love, ethical dilemmas, and the price of ambition, 'Graduation' is a compelling narrative that delves into the complexities of life, where victory often hangs in the balance.
