With Honors

With Honors is a 1994 comedy-drama film that tells the story of Monty Kessler, a Harvard University student who is struggling to finish his thesis. When Monty accidentally drops his thesis down a grating into the boiler room, he meets a homeless man named Simon Wilder, who has found the thesis and is burning it page by page. In exchange for food and shelter, Simon agrees to return Monty's thesis one page at a time. As they spend more time together, Monty learns valuable lessons about life and humanity from Simon, and their unlikely friendship changes Monty's perspective on the world. The film explores themes of poverty, friendship, and the importance of empathy and understanding in a society that often marginalizes certain individuals.
