A troublesome student, a bitter teacher, and the cafeteria lady are all forced to holdover at boarding school for the Christmas break. The forced proximity forces them all to learn something about each other–and themselves.
Dominic, Paul, & Da’Vine will make you laugh and cry in a beautiful film that looks like it was made in the 1970’s.
