Modesto is a teacher, and he sometimes sees dead people. Not only has this cost him a fortune at the shrink's, it's also gotten him fired from every school he's ever worked at. His luck changes when he lands a job at Monforte where five students have turned the prestigious school into a house of horrors. Modesto must try to get all five kids to pass their senior year so they can get out of there once and for all. But it won’t be easy... they’ve been dead for over twenty years.

Overview
Jonathan Holland, Variety
“Grafting ‘The Sixth Sense’ onto ‘The Breakfast Club’ and making it work sounds like a tough call, but the makers of "Ghost Graduation" have pulled it off... The result is a fresh, slick slab of entertainment whose roster of tube stars has ensured solid domestic B.O., but there's enough universal fun here to suggest "Ghost" could live on in remake form.”
Andrea G. Bermejo, Cinemanía
“Pure revival of 80’s and 90’s cinema, a tribute to both John Hugues’ highschool flicks and to Michael J. Fox in “The Frighteners” (...) nostalgia, tenderness, and loads of laughter.”
Begoña Del Teso, Diario Vasco
“A surprising film, daring, risky and most delicate”
Yago García, OnMadrid
“The funniest movie so far this year that will hook both teenagers and thritysomethings alike (...) It makes you laugh in a way no other recent Spanish film has managed to do, which more than commendable, is a remarkable feat.”
Jordi Costa, El País
“A perfect example of how a commercial film can be original, daring, and surprising.”
Jonás Trueba, ElMundo.es
“Here is a movie that surprises us and comforts us, that bridges the gap between generations and reconciles sensibilities that clash only too often (...) Javier Ruiz Caldera’s mise-en-scene is always elegant and quick, as well as sensual.”
José Manuel Cuéllar, ABC
“It exudes sympathy, tenderness, and a good dosage of integrity. Almost everything is irresistibly charming in this film by Javier Ruiz Caldera (his second after the surprising hit ‘Spanish Movie’), owed to that atmosphere of complicity that its characters manage to radiate (...) The fantastic Raúl Arévalo, no doubt the best Spanish actor of his generation and probably of all times, genuinely gives a superb performance.”
David Trueba, El País
“‘Ghost Graduation’ is the film that all parents wished their teenage kids would enjoy. Sustained by the charms of Raúl Arévalo, it tells the story it wants to tell without an ounce of cynicism.”
Desirée De Fez, El Periódico
“John Hughes would be a fan of ‘Ghost Graduation’.”
