A story about acceptance, life, love and betrayal. At the staid Marcia Blaine School for Girls in Edinburgh, a charismatic school teacher is passionate in the application of her unorthodox teaching methods and in her dedication to her girls. The time is the 1930s, and Miss Brodie seems unaware that her admiration for Mussolini and Hitler might be considered unacceptable.

Through it all, she believes in the unwavering support of her favorite pupils, with fatal consequences.
