Internationally acclaimed director Cristian Mungiu (Palme d’Or winner for 4 Months, 3 Weeks, 2 Days) returns with a powerful and universal study about the imprecision of parenthood, the relativity of truth and the ambiguity of compromise, revealed by a father-daughter relationship.

Romeo Aldea, a respected doctor living with his family in a small town in Transylvania, is doing all he can to ensure that his talented daughter gets to attend university in Britain. Romeo is prepared to make the compromises he deplores in others, since he can’t bear the thought that Eliza might not get the chance for a better life.

Graduation is an intricate, deeply intelligent film, and a bleak picture of a state of national depression in Romania.
