BuitenBios Botanique: The Graduate

The iconic film *The Graduate* – with the now legendary title track *Mrs. Robinson* by Simon & Garfunkel – is rightly regarded as a classic. The film was awarded the Oscar for Best Director at the time.

During a celebration in honor of his graduation, the young and shy Benjamin is seduced by the mysterious Mrs. Robinson, the wife of one of his father's best friends. The secret escapade becomes complicated when Benjamin then falls in love with her daughter Elaine. The result: a tragicomic story full of confusion, desire, and rebellion against the backdrop of 1960s America.
