An Education

Jenny (Carey Mulligan) is a bright 17-year-old girl who finds herself in a whirlwind romance with a much older David (Peter Sarsgaard). Prior to meeting David, Jenny was trying to excel in her life by going through prep school to get into Oxford. However, once she sees the lifestyle David can provide, she is hooked and thoughts of Oxford goes out the window. Then, when things are looking pretty good for Jenny with the dashing David, the truth hits her like a ton of bricks. Jenny goes from being a bright eyed school girl to a sophisticated young lady and then all the way back to questioning if she really knows who she is at all.
