Summary, etc.: | A landmark in the history of queer cinema, this is an honest film about nascent love between women at a boarding school for girls. Vulnerable and quiet, Manuela struggles to adjust to the stern discipline of the heavily regimented institution. In time, she gains confidence through a friendship with one of her teachers. But no relationship between women, no matter how chaste, is to be permitted, and under the constant threat of punishment, Manuela desperately tries to keep hope and love alive. |
