It officially started there Expires 2022 (here the traces of the first test), an exam that, for the first time after two years of pandemic, returns to its (almost) original form. After two editions where students faced a single maxi oral, the written Italian and the second test, different from school to school, are back.
For those who are a few years older, each high school graduation edition allows you to go back as a teenager for a few hours, among the tones of the inevitable “Evening before exam” of Venditti and the curiosity of the themes of the tests. But to remember the old maturity and get to know the new one, you do not have to flip through the album of memories: cinema is enough. So here’s a list of 10 movies that – just like in a time machine – will make you go back to your 18 years.

10 films that tell the story of maturity
The night before the exam

The worst nightmare that any adult has had at least once in their life. The film tells the story of a group of alumni who are called back from school to take the final exams again, canceled due to legal issues.
