Set in the 1930's, the story centers on a group of girls at an elite British boarding school and their beautiful, enigmatic diving instructor.

When her place as Miss G's favorite is threatened by the arrival of a beautiful Spanish (Italian in the novel) girl called Fiamma she becomes increasingly jealous.

Miss G's obsession with Fiamma grows and Fiamma, ostracized by the other girls due to Di's jealousy, just wants to go home.

* KarmaHoudini: Somewhat averted. Miss G doesn't get sent to jail but she does lose the affection of the girls on her team, her job and the place that has been a home to her since she was a girl herself
* LetThemDie: Miss G does this to Fiamma to try a cover up her molestation of her. It may have worked except Di actually sees her putting Fiamma's inhaler back in her hand after she's dead
* ManipulativeBastard: Miss G. Despite having clearly never gone much further than the villiage she manages to convince the whole diving team that she's an experienced traveller. Well at least until Fiamma comes along, who is actually a seasoned traveller

* VillainWithGoodPublicity: Miss G for most of the movie. She's a seriously disturbed woman capable of terrible things, but the girls and the school have no idea until it's too late.
* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: Miss G. Though her actions are abhorrent (taking advantage of a drunk student and later letting her die) it's hard not to feel a bit sorry for her when you get some idea of what her life is like. She obviously has deep psychological issues and though she longs to travel she will never get to do so. And the end it's implied she will probably live out most of her life in that one small room
