Assume Nothing - Episode 5: The Maid
Ireland, 1984. St Brides School for young ladies opens its doors in the quiet fishing village of Burtonport, county Donegal - but all is not as it seems.
The headmistress discusses the philosophy behind the Silver Sisterhood’s computer games and explores their complicated relationship with physical discipline – which they feel was misunderstood by the outside world.
A young student finds a strange book in her local bookshop and decides to visit the Silver Sisters in Donegal.
