From acclaimed director Alexander Payne, The Holdovers follows a curmudgeonly instructor (Paul Giamatti) at a New England prep school in the 1970s.

He must remain on campus during Christmas break to babysit the handful of students with nowhere to go.

He forms an unlikely bond with one of them - a damaged, brainy troublemaker (newcomer Dominic Sessa) - and with the school’s head cook (Da’Vine Joy Randolph), who has lost a son in Vietnam.
