Short Term 12 is told through the eyes of Grace (Brie Larson), a twenty-something supervisor at a foster care facility for at-risk teenagers. Passionate and tough, Grace is a formidable caretaker, committed to the kids in her charge - and in love with her long-term boyfriend and co-worker, Mason (John Gallagher Jr.). While the subject matter is complex, this lovingly realized film finds truth and humor in unexpected places.
