German film about a boarding school/prison like institution
 

I came across a movie (or is it a series?) which I found in a group of images online of which I can't find the title. The images make me think of the movie Magdalene Sisters, but it is a different one.


The images depict the young people in a room standing/sitting (with their faces to the front). Other images show them working (like doing the laundry). They are housed internally and have to weir a uniform with identification number on it.


I think the movie is in German, as on the background of one of the images is a Bible text in German written on a wall: "Der Herr ist gerecht in allen seinen Wegen". So I suspect the movie has been made in Germany, Austria or Switzerland.

These images can be found by searching with Google for: pri sondress flickr vintage reform


(It is a group of about 20 photos that are preceded and continued by other images in this Flickrriver.)

Could this be the Swedish movie Evil?
Here's its IMDB page.

Love it, it’s not that film, I fear.

Thank you for the suggestion!
I looked at the photos from IMDb and none of them give me a connection with the images I have from the one I am looking for. So sadly this is not the one.

Could it be Colonia Dignidad – Es gibt kein Zurück - or any other movie about the Chilean-based German Christian-fundamentalist cult "Colonia Dignidad"? (That's how it could nonetheless be an anglophone movie despite the German Bible verse.)

No idea that there was ever a German camp in Chile, learned something!

Searching for images of Colonia Dignidad, there are some that look a bit similar in style, but sadly do not match.

Barbed Wire Dolls (1975) is similar, but I'm not sure. These photos are similar to exploitation and sexploitation B movies:

Third photo and last girl is similar to Lina Romay, but I don't know the movie.

You're welcome! 🤗

PS: It would have been so much easier to figure out the title of that movie if Flickr user "Pri Sondress" had also uploaded some screenshots of the old Luisa Keller - most of the story itself depicts reminiscences of Luisa's brutal residential education during the 60's - as that role is played by Senta Berger, one of Germany's most famous and renowned actresses.

Madchen in Uniform, a trailblazer also for lesbian films too made in the 30's.
