Graduation tells the story of Romeo Aldea (Titieni), a physician living in a small mountain town in Transylvania, has raised his daughter Eliza (Dragus) with the idea that once she turns 18, she will leave to study and live abroad. His plan is close to succeeding - Eliza has won a scholarship to study psychology in the UK. She just has to pass her final exams – a formality for such a good student. On the day before her first written exam, Eliza is assaulted in an attack that could jeopardize her entire future.
The film follows Romeo's efforts to make sure Eliza gets the high marks she needs. His position as a chief doctor in the city's hospital gives him the power to exchange "favours", and as soon as he gets one, he owes one. These commitments start to agitate his professional prestige and an already fragile family structure.
