Die Mädchen des Pensionats
Die Mädchen des Pensionats.
In a sun‑lit boarding house, eight teenage girls gather for their afternoon tea, their chatter filling the room while the housemistress is away on business. With their senior, Josephine, taking on a motherly role, the girls trade witty observations about love, propriety, and the arrival of a mysterious gentleman who insists on speaking with the absent headmistress.
When the elegantly dressed visitor finally steps inside, his flamboyant manners and peculiar questions set off a cascade of polite yet playful banter. The girls, each with a distinct personality—from the aristocratic Virginie to the outspoken Asta—navigate his odd requests with a mixture of curiosity and genteel hospitality. Their interactions reveal a lively world of youthful innocence, subtle rivalries, and the charming absurdities of a genteel 19th‑century boarding school, promising listeners a light‑hearted glimpse into the spirited lives of these young ladies.
