In this vibrant musical comedy, three childhood friends, Joe, Al, and Ted, reunite after a decade of separation. Having served together in World War II, each has forged their own path, but the promise that they would meet "whenever the weather permitted" weighs on their memories. The story begins when they decide to meet in New York to reminisce and relive the camaraderie they used to enjoy. However, what they thought would be a nostalgic reunion soon turns into a series of misunderstandings and misencounters.
As the three struggle to reconnect, they find themselves caught up in the pressures of adult life: a failed romance, a dead-end job, and the anxiety of meeting societal expectations. Each one deals with their own issues, whether through delirious musical numbers that contrast with their disillusionment or through comedic situations that highlight the critique of society at the time.
With memorable performances and dazzling choreography, the film becomes an exploration of both friendship and the search for meaning in a rapidly changing world. As the plot unfolds, the friends must decide if what they had in the past is worth reclaiming or if they should move on down different paths. In the end, the real question is: can we truly go back to the past? The answer is filled with laughter, music, and a good dose of reality.
