The Innocents

In Victorian England a governess, Miss Giddens, arrives at the huge country estate of a man who has hired to watch over his young niece Flora and his nephew Miles. The housekeeper introduces her to Flora, an angelic little child who appears to have a mysterious foreknowledge of her brother's imminent arrival, though he is not expected. Soon a letter arrives from Miles' school, informing the household that the boy has been expelled because he is a corrupting influence on his schoolmates. However, when he arrives, he proves to be every bit as innocent and entrancing as his sister, and Miss Giddens decides that the school officials must have been mistaken.
