Short Term 12 - Stille Helden (2013)
Grace arbeitet als Pädagogin in der Einrichtung „Short Term 12“, in der junge Menschen mit sozialen Problemen für einen Zeitraum zwischen einem und zwölf Monaten aufgenommen werden. Zusammen mit ihrem Kollegen Mason, mit dem sie außerdem eine Beziehung führt, gibt sie alles für das Wohlbefinden der Kinder und diese vertrauen ihr vollkommen. Auch als das junge Mädchen Jayden, das an einer Aggressionsstörung leidet, eingeliefert wird, gelingt es Grace, sofort eine Verbindung mit ihr aufzubauen. Doch als Jayden ihr ihre Geschichte offenbart, wird Grace an eigene dunkle Zeiten ihrer Kindheit erinnert und sie verschließt sich Mason immer mehr. Dessen Sorge um sie wird darauf immer größer, doch seine Versuche Grace zum Reden zu bringen, machen diese nur wütend. Wird sie es schlussendlich schaffen, sich Mason gegenüber so zu öffnen, wie es die Kinder von „Short Term 12“ ihr gegenüber tun?
