Le pupille (The Pupils) is a 2022 short film (37 minutes) from Italy directed by Alice Rohrwacher.It is set at a Catholic girls' boarding school in Italy at Christmastime during World War II, in 1940-42. Although one girl leaves to spend the holiday with her family, most of the children are apparently orphans and the school is effectively an orphanage. Times are tough with wartime food shortages. The kids at the school put on a Nativity tableau in which parishioners come to ask for prayers; the donations the parishioners give are a vital supplement to the school's limited supply of food.An upper-class woman brings a fancy custard cake (which everyone calls "English soup") as an offering to the kids in the Christmas tableau. The kids, who aren't exactly starving but definitely aren't overfed, look at the cake hungrily, but Mother Superior Fioralba gets the bright idea to offer the cake up to the bishop as a present, in hopes of getting more money for the school. This decision does not work out. | |

| Le pupille / int_1722aaf | comment |
Hitler Ate Sugar: The girls complain about having to pose in a very chilly church at midnight for the Nativity scene. Sister Fioralba (who to be fair knows that the school badly needs the offerings from parishioners) says that if they go to Hell it will be very warm there. | |

Stern Nun | |
| Le pupille / int_30eb40ec | comment |
Stern Nun: Mother Superior Fioralba doesn't quite rise to the level of "evil" but is certainly strict, bossing the kids around, strong-arming them into giving up their Christmas cake, and calling Serafina "wicked" for just remembering the lyrics to the pop song. | |

Voiceover Letter: A sung voiceover letter. The girls of the school sing a letter from grown-up Serafina, obviously many years in the future, telling the story of one particular wartime Christmas at the orphanage. | |

Tableau | |
| Le pupille / int_f4d8befd | comment |
Tableau: The orphans put on a Nativity scene, in which they strike static poses as angels, shepherds, Wise Men, and the baby Jesus, everybody except Mary and Joseph who are played by nuns. This is expected by the parishioners, who come by at midnight to make special prayers, and it is also a big deal for the school, as Sister Fioralba is counting on the money and food they're supposed to get to stretch their inadequate supplies. | |

Brick Joke: Sister Fioralba grossly overreacts to the kids singing along to a song on the radio, making them wash their mouths out with soap. Later, as Sister Fioralba and another nun commiserate about how they're running low on food and other essentials, they mention being out of soap. | |
