A sensitive girl who recently lost her mother is sent to an all-girls boarding school and develops a romantic attachment to one of her teachers. Because of this, she is reprimanded by her oppressive head master, which results in her and her fellow girls staging a revolt.
Mädchen in Uniform is a fascinating film from the 1930s. Leontine Sagan tackles topics like desire, repression, queerness, and even fascism with fearlessness, unlike many other films from this era. Coupled with some great acting, this film is an eye-opening must-see.
