Miss A and Miss M (1983)
Young Lizzie Cole and her newly widowed mother go to stay in the country at a small guesthouse occupied by spinsters, retired schoolmasters and young schoolmistresses. Lizzie becomes quite fond of two particular schoolmistresses who live together in a small cottage. Their lifestyle and living arrangement is a constant source of interest and challenge for Lizzie. However, what she ends up experiencing is beyond the comprehension of a young girl. The story of Miss A And Miss M is a very sensitively performed portrayal of the boundaries of love and friendship.
