Told through the eyes of Grace (Brie Larson), a twenty-something supervisor
at a foster-care facility for at-risk teenagers, Short Term 12 is written and
directed by Destin Cretton. Passionate and tough, Grace is a formidable
caretaker of the kids in her charge, and in love with her long-term boyfriend
and co-worker, Mason (John Gallagher Jr). But Grace's own difficult past, and
the surprising future that suddenly presents itself, throw her into unforeseen
confusion, made all the sharper with the arrival of a new intake at the
facility: a gifted but troubled teenage girl with whom Grace has a charged
connection.
While the subject matter is complex and often dark, Short Term 12 finds truth,
and humour, in unexpected places.
