Synopsis of The Boarding School: Las Cumbres

Amaia Torres, Manuel Villar, Paul Uribe, and Adèle, Paul's sister, are students at Las Cumbres, a boarding school for troubled boys located next to an old monastery, isolated among the mountains. Discipline there is strict, and the stated goal is to return each inmate to society. Fed up with being locked up, Adèle wants to leave, and the four of them plan an escape. When night falls, Adèle backs out at the last moment. Paul can't bring himself to leave his sister alone, so only Amaia and Manu venture into the forest surrounding the school, a place where ancient legends circulate. Manu vanishes among the trees after crossing paths with a mysterious man, and Amaia and her classmates must find out what happened to him at a school that watches their every move. The series, created by Laura Belloso and Asier Andueza, streams on Amazon Prime Video.
