Graduation

Original title: Matura

High school students are faced with challenging situation of confronting a moral dilemma about greed and moral transgressions: one of their classmates stole money collected for a schoolmate`s prom night. Set in the classroom, this film scrutinizes the erosion of moral norms in modern
times Montenegrin society, the Balkan transition, societal disparities.

The story unfolds in two acts

Act 1 - The story takes place in a classroom, where the teacher and the students are trying to find the missing money. The teacher's pedagogical
approach clashes with the School Director's threat-laden quest for the culprit.
Act 2 - At a parents' meeting, contrasting attitudes emerge. Some parents downplay the event and suggest compromises, while the professor
stresses moral analysis. This sharp contrast intensifies the drama, testing adult morality. A confession of guilt triggers an emotional catharsis,
culminating in an attempted murder of thief, infusing the tale with echoes of ancient dramatic complexity.
