The Education of Jane Cumming en

Haven’t had enough of queer period dramas full of longing and blushing glances? You’re in luck! Fifteen-year-old Jane is struggling at the private school in Edinburgh her grandmother (Fiona Shaw) has sent her to. When she hears whispers of an illicit affair between her two schoolmistresses, she sees a chance to bend fate to her own will, with disastrous consequences…

The Education of Jane Cumming is based on the true story that also inspired The Children’s Hour (1961) with Audrey Hepburn. This time actually queer!
