Skip Day
ABOUT
Intimate glimpses of one very special day in the lives of high-school seniors from an industrial corner of the Florida Everglades: prom’s over, the future is uncertain, and the irresistible pull of the beach makes the long-time friends take a "Skip Day", drive 90 kilometres to chill, pose and revel in the waves.
