In a bustling research department of a television newsroom, the lives of a group of female employees are disrupted by the arrival of a new computing system that promises to revolutionize the way they work. Amidst the chaos and initial discontent, the brilliant and charismatic head of research faces off against a programming engineer, who is enthusiastic about the machine he has designed.

The film explores the clash between the human and the technological, as the protagonist, played by a famous actress of the time, begins to question her place in the working world. As the plot unfolds, a romantic spark develops between the two main characters, but not without having to deal with their differences and the resistance from their team, who sees the machine as a threat to their job security.

The atmosphere of the department reflects the social changes of the era, with strong and determined women navigating a sea of uncertainty and challenges. With witty dialogue and awkward situations that guarantee laughs, the story becomes a romantic comedy that analyzes themes of independence, feminism, and the future of work.

In the end, they must not only discover if love can bloom between them but also how to adapt to the inevitable technological evolution without losing their essence. The film not only captures the spirit of the time but also shatters certain perceptions about the role of women in society.
