Paul pennyfeather, a dedicated divinity student set upon a quiet life of contemplation as a priest, is unceremoniously expelled from oxford university through no fault of his own. This kickstarts a series of disastrous events that no one, least of all paul, could have anticipated. Without a private fortune to fall back on, paul is forced to take a position as a teacher at a substandard boarding school in rural wales. All too quickly it becomes apparent that paul is not a natural disciplinarian. He finds scant comfort in drinking to excess with the other teachers. Things start to look up, however, when paul meets margot beste chetwynde, a wealthy widow and a mother to one of the boys at the school. Could it be that the attraction paul feels for margot is returned? Could his fortunes be changing? Running time 180 minutes region region 2 this dvd may not be viewable outside europe.
