Loving Annabelle is the controversial story of a Catholic Boarding School teacher, Simone Bradley (Diane Gaidry), who has an affair with her female student, Annabelle (Erin Kelly).
Simone is Saint Theresa’s prized young poetry teacher who finds peace and security within the boarding school’s walls. Annabelle is a charismatic and enchanting new student who quickly draws attention for her rebellious behaviour.
Simone learns that the real challenge is not Annabelle’s behaviour but the attraction budding between the two. As Annabelle pursues her teacher, she unleashes the passion that has been locked deep inside Simone, who must decide whether or not to enter into an affair that could cost her everything.
Inspired by the 1931 German classic, MAEDCHEN IN UNIFORM, director Katharine Brooks’s Loving Annabelle gives a modern telling of the forbidden love story that continues to be controversial to this day.
Loving Annabelle explores the complexity and controversy of love and struggle between two women who have every reason to deny their feelings.
