Synopsis
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...
