The love story of two tenth-graders in Romania before the revolution.
Synopsis:
"The Graduates" is a Romanian movie from 1986, directed by Nicolae Corjos. It tells the love story of two freshmen (first-year high school students) who fall in love. Mihai (Ştefan Bănică Jr.) is a provincial boy who attends a high school in Bucharest, where his passion for philosophy and mathematics will be overshadowed by love, while Dana (Oana Sârbu) is a chess enthusiast. Their romance will be full of naturalness but will undergo many trials. Alongside the young actors, other well-executed roles belong to actors Ion Caramitru and Tamara Buciuceanu, who play the idealistic history teacher, the class tutor nicknamed "Socrates" by students, and the strict mathematics teacher nicknamed "Isosceles" respectively.
