Classmates

Here’s a film about two high schoolers—one a quiet overachiever, the other a charming rocker—who discover harmony only after being forced to sing in unison. Their duet of awkward conversations and off-key practices slowly turns into something resembling a duet of the heart, all without a single karaoke booth in sight. It’s sweet, simple, and surprisingly good at making breath control feel romantic.
