During World War II, a group of American sailors has the chance to enjoy seven days of leave in the vibrant port city of San Francisco. Each of them arrives with dreams of adventure and the hope of leaving behind the routine of military service. Among them is the charismatic Lieutenant Jimmy, who is determined to make this trip an unforgettable experience.
As the days go by, the sailors embark on a series of escapades that include romantic encounters, wild parties, and a multitude of comedic situations. Jimmy falls head over heels for a charming dancer named Sally, while his friends find themselves caught up in entanglements and rivalries, leading to equal parts tension and laughter. The nights filled with music and dancing stand in stark contrast to the reality of the war that awaits them when they return to the ship.
However, as the end of their leave approaches, each of them must confront the reality of their military life and the decisions they have made during those days of freedom. The film, which manages to balance moments of comedy and romance with a deeper reflection on friendship and sacrifice, becomes a tribute to those brief but intense moments of freedom during wartime. In the end, what seemed like just a week of fun transforms into an emotional journey that will leave a lasting mark on each of them.
