This third collection of British filmmaker Molly Dineen's works features three made-for-TV documentaries. Filmed shortly after she left girl group the Spice Girls, 'Geri' (1999) follows the career of Geri Halliwell, containing interviews with the singer and behind-the-scenes footage. 'The Lord's Tale' (2002) explores the effect of the change in Britain's political system that no longer allowed for Lords in the House of Commons to inherit their position, resulting in 700 losing their titles. 'The Lie of the Land' (2007) investigates the agricultural issues faced by farmers and other country dwellers due to changes being made in government legislation.
St Trinian's, the infamous school for 'young ladies', is facing a financial crisis. The new Education Minister (Colin Firth) is an old flame of the headmistress (Rupert Everett) but is determined to bring discipline and order to the anarchic school. A motley crew of teachers, and ruthless pupils join forces to steal the famous painting "Girl With A Pearl Earring" from the National Gallery. But can their combined cunning, girlish wiles and total lack of shame win the day before the authorities close them down for good?
Modern-day reworking of the classic Ealing comedy of the 1950s. Faced with dire financial problems, St.Trinian's, the school for 'young ladies', has to somehow find the extra cash needed, or face closure from the bank. If that wasn't enough, Headmistress Camilla Fritton's (Rupert Everett) old flame Geoffrey Thwaites (Colin Firth) is now Education Minister, and he's not too impressed with the ethos of 'self-empowerment' (anarchy) practised at the school. But faced with the loss of their school, the usually ferocious St Trinian's girls decide to put aside their differences and work together to raise the cash the only way they know - by pulling off the heist of the century.
