The movie just explained how the girls were going to be punished for writing letters and notes to one other, hence why they consider that act merciful.

* GirlsBehindBars: Technically not seen in this film, as the setting is a school and not a prison. But nevertheless the film hits many of the notes of a GirlsBehindBars film. It's an all-female cast in an institutional setting, and an unpleasant setting at that, where the girls are treated harshly and marched around and fed inadequate rations. The girls wear striped InstitutionalApparel that strongly resembles prison uniforms. There's a warden/headmistress that gives off strong ButchLesbian vibes, there are the standard mean guards/teachers, and there's one nice guard/teacher who seems to develop feelings for an inmate/student. Then there are the {{Lingerie Scene}}s and the overtly lesbian themes in the film. It basically comes off as a GirlsBehindBars film in UnbuiltTrope form.

* AnguishedDeclarationOfLove: About halfway through Manuela makes a tearful declaration in which she declares that she loves von Bernburg and can't stand the thought that she'll leave the school one day and von Bernburg will kiss other girls. Von Bernburg tells her to suck it up.

* RevisedEnding: An alternate ending which subtly pandered to pro-UsefulNotes/{{Nazi|Germany}} ideals enabled continued screening in German cinemas for some time in 1933 and after, but eventually even this version of the film was banned as 'decadent' by the Nazi regime.
