Desire and discovery unfold behind the walls of a Swiss boarding school.
THERESE AND ISABELLE
Two young girls experience awakening sexuality in the heated atmosphere of a Swiss girls' boarding school.
From the era when school uniforms concealed considerably more than innocence.
Radley Metzger brings a lush, provocative lens to the secretive corridors of a Swiss girls' school, where Essy Persson and Anna Gaël navigate the charged territory of adolescent desire. With an international pedigree and a nuanced script drawn from Violette Leduc, this is the kind of sultry drama that puts the 'boarding' in boarding school.
