Set at the turn of the twentieth century, the film concerns a small group of students from an all-female college and a chaperone, who vanish while on a St. Valentine's Day outing. Less a mystery than a journey into the mystic, as well as an inquiry into issues of class and sexual repression in Australian society.

it's like a mysterious musing on all kindsa social things, but in a weird setting, with costumes submitted by lisa on July 30, 2019, 11:10am I reckon there's no other film like this one.
