CGiii Comment
The daughter of Ridley Scott directs...with Daddy and Uncle controlling the strings [behind the scenes].
They should have exerted a little more authority - the first (quite ridiculous) scene is painful to watch but, thankfully, it does get better.
The problem being: predictability - it is obvious what is going to happen.
This is a cross between Miss Jean Brodie and Picnic at Hanging Rock - without the atmosphere.
It is beautiful to watch...but, it lacks substance and plausibility.

The(ir) Blurb...
At an elite girls boarding school, the award winning diving team is considered the premier group of girls in the school. When a new girl from Spain, Fiamma, comes to the school and joins the team, the rest of the squad is jealous of her relationship with the coach and force her off the team and out of the school by bullying her. When the girl is forced to rejoin the group, they decide to let her into their social circle and begin to be as fascinated with her as their coach is. But things take a turn when the coach's fascination turns into a physical relationship between Fiamma and herself.
