It's stuffy to the point of suffocation. This is the best way to describe the atmosphere in an isolated girls' boarding school where a man suddenly appears. The only one for miles around.
Outside the walls of the isolated girls' school, the American Civil War rages, but the students and teachers are oblivious to the ongoing conflict. Until he knocks on their door. They take in the badly wounded enemy officer John McBurney (Colin Farrell) in an act of Christian mercy, only to turn him over to "their" soldiers as a prisoner of war as soon as he's a little better on his feet.
But John gradually wraps his arms around not only the young students, led by the beautiful Alicia (Elle Fanning), but also their old school teacher Edwina (Kirsten Dunst) and, most importantly, the headmistress (Nicole Kidman). It brings out emotions in all of them that they haven't experienced before or in a long time. They're all the more devastating and dangerous because John doesn't realize that he's in the middle of a battle more terrible than all the battles of the ongoing war.
