Finissant(e)s is a Canadian docufiction film, directed by Rafaël Ouellet and released in 2013.[1] A hybrid of scripted fiction and documentary, the film is a portrait of a group of young people in Ouellet's hometown of Dégelis, Quebec, over the summer following their graduation from high school.[2]
The film's most noted cast member, Carla Turcotte, subsequently studied acting at university, and went on to a significant career in film and television.[3]
Production of the film was announced in 2012, just a few weeks after the premiere of Ouellet's prior film Camion.[4]
The film premiered at the 2013 Rendez-vous du cinéma québécois,[5] before going into limited commercial release on March 1.[6]
