Thuringia, Germany, in the early 20th century. A group of young girls are brought up in a college within dark forests and gloomy dull lakes. Young Hidalla and her friends Irene, Vera, Blanka, Melusine and Rain are brought up in an isolated world: the girls don't know anything about life outside the college's broad and high walls. They play near a beautiful waterfall and are ordered not to make contact with the servants, categorized as inferior people that wears masks to cover their faces. The girls are taught in the art of dance and music. Years later Irene and Hidalla had begun a love relationship and are caught kissing in the school grounds by the servants. Vera begins thinking that she descends from royalty and unravels her origins but finds that she was wrong. The six girls attempt to escape from the school but are confronted by the guard dogs that attack and kill Melusine.
