Synopsis

In England in the late 1920s, The Honourable Daisy Dalrymple Fletcher, on a convalescent trip to the countryside, goes to visit three old school friends in the area. The three, all unmarried, have recently bought a house together. They are a part of the generation of “superfluous women” — brought up expecting marriage and a family, but left without any prospects after more than 700,000 British men were killed in the Great War.
