Mono

In a unique twist on the classic high school movie trope, a mysterious mono virus outbreak at Highland Park High temporarily incapacitates the school's most influential students, leaving them bedridden for two long months. As the popular crowd is sidelined, the overlooked and marginalized outcasts seize their opportunity to take charge of the social hierarchy. The film explores themes of power dynamics, friendship, and the struggle for identity and acceptance in a high school environment where social status holds immense importance. Through the lens of humor, drama, and subtle observation, audiences are invited to experience an unanticipated shift in power dynamics and reflect on the fluid nature of popularity and its impact on adolescence.
