Thomas Miller (Eddie Izzard) though, throws himself into his role with gusto, more than happy to start sing-a-longs and take the girls for their daily dip in the sea. Even his predecessor’s body washing up on the beach doesn’t seem to faze him. However, as war inches closer, he notices a perceptible difference in the behaviour of the school’s German and PE teacher Ilse Keller (Carla Juri). The curriculum appears to take a troubling turn – less finishing school and more indoctrinating them with the Third Reich’s reasoning for finishing off “non-Aryans”. Miller knows he needs to act, but how best to alert the authorities without tipping his hand to Keller? And is it already too late?
