England,1956. Fifteen-year-old Jamie Roberts is feeling restless and welcomes the chance to join the school trip to Italy. Supervising the group of 20 adolescent boys will be two very different masters: the sophisticated, Oxford-educated historian, 'PK' Marshall, and the young down-to-earth science teacher, Jerry Forbes. When they arrive in Venice, everyone is entranced by the beauty and strangeness of the magical city. The boys' hearts beat even faster when they discover that they are sharing their lodgings with a group from a girls' school! Soon the two groups are mixing and matching; Jamie discovers Moira, lost in the narrow Venetian streets and they become friends. They explore Venice together, hand-in-hand, have their first kiss and are blissfully happy; but, when the holiday is over, will their love endure or fade away? Meanwhile, the masters and mistresses have also been unexpectedly smitten. Young Jerry falls heavily for the vivacious, dark-haired Nina; but he has a wife and two children at home. Emily, the younger mistress, becomes infatuated with the 45-year-old PK with whom she shares a passion for art and literature. But PK is not quite what he seems to her innocent gaze. When she discovers his secret, she is shocked but undeterred. PK grows fond of Emily, but knows that some things will never change. In 'The School for Lovers' everyone has lessons to learn.
