Victoire, the cook at a young women’s institution, is charged with
meeting Olivia, a young English student, at the station. No
sooner has Olivia arrived than she is indoctrinated into the secrets of
the establishment by her fellow inmates. The management of the
school is shared by Mademoiselle Julie and Mademoiselle Cara, two very
different personalities. Julie divides her time between
her students and her fashionable soirées. Cara, by
contrast, spends most of her time in her room, complaining about her
health so that she can attract the attention of her students. One
day, Julie gives Olivia a luxurious room on the same floor as the
managers’ living quarters. Cara then offers Olivia an even
greater privilege, the chance to look at the institution’s photo
album. Soon the innocent Olivia will become the victim of the two
women’s bitter rivalry...
