Summary: This study of life in an aristocratic boarding school for girls explores anti-Fascist and anti-patriarchal themes and was shot in Germany two years before Hitler’s rise to power. A young girl, who is nearly crushed by the strict Prussian regimentation, falls in love with one of her teachers but is victimized by the principal’s harsh disciplinary action. Sagan utilized innovative cinematic techniques to capture the oppressive atmosphere of the school as a microcosm of German society.
