Abstract: Plunging the viewer - and the main character - into a true lion's den, Jacqueline Audry depicts a 19th-century boarding school for young girls,  one divided into two camps where all the shots, even the most underhanded, are allowed. That's because the two mistresses of the house, Miss Julie and Miss Cara, are engaged in a turf war as well as a war of the heart. Competing for the affections of their students, they route passion, hatred, and unexpected reversals of loyalties.
