aka La Residencia. The Boarding School.
"All you have to do is obey me."
It's the 1900's and Teresa (Cristina Galbó) is sent to Mrs Fourneau's (Lilli Palmer) strict boarding school, and soon falls prey to the bullies who maintain order in the school. Also at the school is Luis, Mrs Fourneau's son (John Moulder-Brown), a housebound invalid, who still finds time to court some of the girls, behind his mother's back. But girls keep 'running away' and one of the bullies gets suspicious that they never hear of any of them ever again.
The slow paced murder mystery will not be to some people's taste, but it develops a brooding atmosphere, as the camera prowls the corridors, that holds your attention.
