Cast: Rachel Roberts, Dominic Guard, Helen Morse, Jacki Weaver, Anne Lambert.Summary: 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.
