In a vibrant 1920s city, two friends, both trapped in monotonous marriages, face the routine of their lives with a touch of wit and a great sense of humor. One afternoon, while relaxing at a café, they realize that their husbands are a real drag and decide to take matters into their own hands. The men, who are more interested in their jobs and following the same old customs, remain oblivious to the lack of excitement reigning in their homes.
The women devise a trick: they invent a story about an imaginary – and fabulous – suitor who has taken an interest in them. They begin to live a double life, designing an elaborate plan to rekindle the spark in their marriages. As they try to make their husbands feel jealous, things get complicated in hilariously unexpected ways.
However, humor isn't the only thing at stake. As they progress in their plan, the friends realize that their own identities and desires have been buried beneath societal expectations. The comedy blends with moments of reflection on female freedom and independence, exposing the absurdities of traditional roles. As the plot intensifies, comedic twists pile up, leading to a surprising conclusion that not only captures the spirit of the era but also poses questions that resonate even today.
