In the tense summer of 1939, as Europe stands on the precipice of war, a new teacher arrives at the Augusta-Victoria College, an exclusive English boarding school for the daughters of high-ranking Nazi officials. Eddie Izzard stars as Thomas Miller, who assumes the post under mysterious circumstances and finds himself navigating a world of unsettling loyalties under the watchful eye of the school’s formidable headmistress, Miss Rocholl, played by Judi Dench. Miller must walk a dangerous tightrope, balancing his covert mission with the daily realities of a school where propaganda is part of the curriculum and the threat of exposure is constant. This gripping drama-thriller, co-written by Eddie Izzard and directed by Andy Goddard, builds a palpable atmosphere of dread and suspicion, exploring a little-known chapter of history where the clash of ideologies happens not on a battlefield, but within the deceptively quiet halls of an English seaside institution. As the clock ticks down to midnight and the outbreak of global conflict, Miller races to uncover a deadly secret that could alter the course of the impending war.
