A gradual build up to a memorable climax
Set in Second World War occupied France, the story slowly introduces us to the personalities and interactions among a groups of boys living in a select, Catholic boarding school. At first the viewer may feel that nothing much is happening but watching the day-to-day life of the main characters makes them matter all the more and the climax of the film all the more memorable.

beautiful and captivating
A beautifully filmed, directed and acted story of friendship, closeness, cruelty and betrayal, in a convent boarding school in WWII occupied France.
There is not much "action", but the film kept me gripped from the first minute to the last. It left me with a sense of having been there, and has been staying with me for days.
