Storia
At an elite boarding school in England, the diving team's coach, Miss G (Eva Green), becomes obsessed with a new Spanish student named Fiamma (María Valverde). The other members of the diving team, led by Di (Jodhi May) and Isle (Rita Balbirnie), grow jealous of Miss G's fascination with Fiamma. Initially excluding her from their group, they eventually accept her but soon realize that Miss G's obsession has gone too far. When a local boy drowns, suspicion falls on Fiamma, leading to tragic consequences.
