Skip Day (2018)

School's almost out. For seniors in Pahokee - a small, mainly African-American industrial town on Florida's Lake Okeechoboee - the Monday after prom is 'Skip Day.' Multitudes of long-time friends miss their lessons, instead driving sixty miles to hang, chill and ponder their futures on the windy dunes of the Atlantic shoreline. The film intimately observes the shared joys of communal activity and extravagant display which bind these engaging teens in rites of passage toward an uncertain adulthood.
