“Were they the innocent victims of a whispering campaign?”

DramaRomance

Close friends Martha and Karen build a private boarding school together with the aid of the local doctor Joe. The school takes off and many students enroll, one of whom is a trouble-maker who tells a scandalous lie that threatens to destroy the trio's lives.

VIBE

A simmering pot of social anxieties and whispered accusations. This film feels like a stifling drawing-room drama where reputations hang by a thread, and a single, venomous lie can unravel everything. It's a masterclass in building dread through hushed tones and moral quandaries.
