Peter Weir's haunting and evocative mystery is set in the Australia of 1900, a mystical place where the British have attempted to [impose] their Christian culture with such tweedy refinements as a girls' boarding school. 

After gauzily-photographed, nicely [under]played scenes of the girls' budding sexuality being restrained in Victorian corsets, the [up]tight headmistress (Rachel Roberts) takes them on a Valentine's Day picnic into the countryside, and several of the girls, led by the lovely Miranda (Anne Lambert) decide to explore a nearby volcanic rock [formation]. 

It's a desolate, primitive, vaguely menacing place, where one can almost feel the presence of ancient pagan spirits. Something — and there is an unspoken but palpable emphasis [on] the inherent carnality of the place — draws four of the girls to explore the rock. 

carnal
–adjective 
1. pertaining to or characterized by the flesh or the body, its passions and appetites; sensual: carnal [pleasures]. 
2. not spiritual; merely human; temporal; worldly: a man of [secular], rather carnal, leanings. 


Three never return. No one ever finds out why. The [re]percussions for the school are tragic, and of course Roberts reacts with near-crazed anger, but what really happened? Weir gives enough clues to suggest any [number] of explanations, both physical and supernatural.
