Dall'acclamato regista Alexander Payne, The Holdovers - Lezioni di vita racconta la storia di uno scontroso professore (Paul Giamatti) di una scuola privata del New England, che rimane nel campus durante le vacanze di Natale per sorvegliare gli studenti che non possono tornare a casa. Alla fine stringe un improbabile legame con uno di loro, un ragazzo strambo e problematico (l'attore emergente Dominic Sessa), e con la cuoca della scuola, il cui figlio risulta di recente disperso in Vietnam (Da'Vine Joy Randolph).

The Holdovers (2023)
133 min
A curmudgeonly instructor at a New England prep school is forced to remain on campus during Christmas break to babysit the handful of students with nowhere to go. Eventually, he forms an unlikely bond with one of them — a damaged, brainy troublemaker — and with the school’s head cook, who has just lost a son in Vietnam.
