Trying hard to keep her weak son out of trouble with the girls and on his feet only to discover how sick he was. Great ending! Great efforts by Lili Palmer and John Moulder Brown!

"only to discover how sick he was"
IMO, Madame Forneau is the real villian of this movie, not Luis. Luis sickness is a direct result of Forneau's sexual abuse and virtual imprisonment of him.
The ending is perfect- Forneau's dictatorial methods lead to her downfall, and she suffers as she had made her son and the girls at the school to suffer.
