The film follows four women working in a factory as they navigate a series of romances and friendships centered around a local dance hall in Chiswick, London. Notable for its then‑unusual feminine viewpoint, the story also serves as a vivid portrait of post‑war London, featuring bomb‑scarred streets, trolleybuses and realities of rationing.
