Storyline

In the heart of the Civil War, at Miss Martha Farnsworth’s Seminary for Young Ladies in Virginia, a fragile world of societal expectations and repressed desires is upended by the arrival of Corporal McBurney, a wounded Union soldier. Discovered by young Amy while foraging for mushrooms, McBurney is brought back to the secluded school, a sanctuary of Southern gentility now sparsely populated by Miss Martha, the headmistress, the timid teacher Edwina, and a handful of impressionable students like Alicia and Jane. Initially, McBurney’s presence is purely one of patient and charity, as the women, bound by duty and a sense of moral obligation, nurse him back to health. However, as McBurney recovers, his charm and vulnerability stir a dormant sensuality within the confines of the isolated house. A dangerous game of manipulation and seduction begins, with each woman vying for McBurney’s attention and affection. The controlled environment devolves into a hotbed of jealousy, suspicion, and betrayal as the lines between rescuer and captive, innocent and seductress blur. Edwina, longing for escape from her monotonous existence, becomes particularly vulnerable to McBurney’s advances, fueling Miss Martha’s growing resentment. Alicia, ever the observant and cunning young woman, recognizes the unraveling order and uses it to her advantage. The simmering tensions ultimately boil over in a shocking act of violence, forcing the women to confront the consequences of their desires and the lengths they will go to protect their sheltered world, leaving behind a chilling testament to the destructive power of suppressed emotions and the unexpected savagery that can lurk beneath the veneer of Southern grace.

Details

In the heart of the Civil War, at a secluded Southern boarding school for girls, a wounded Union soldier, Corporal McBurney portrayed by Colin Farrell, finds unexpected refuge. Miss Martha, played by Nicole Kidman, the stern but compassionate headmistress, makes the controversial decision to take him in, guided by both Christian charity and a desire to protect her young wards from the ravages of the conflict. As the women nurse McBurney back to health, the isolated atmosphere of the school is gradually overtaken by simmering desires and jealous rivalries. Edwina, a shy and repressed teacher brought to life by Kirsten Dunst, finds herself increasingly drawn to the charismatic soldier, while the vivacious student Alicia, played by Elle Fanning, unabashedly vies for his attention. The presence of the beguiling outsider disrupts the delicate balance of their cloistered world, challenging the established order and exposing the hidden depths of their repressed emotions. Oona Laurence as young Amy, serves as both an observer and a catalyst in the unfolding drama, her innocent curiosity adding another layer of complexity. As tensions rise and alliances shift, the women become increasingly manipulative, engaging in a dangerous game of seduction and control where the lines between rescuer and captor, innocent and guilty, become blurred, leading to a shocking climax where taboos are shattered and the true nature of their desires is revealed.
