When prostitution is banned in 1958 and an Italian brothel has to close, four prostitutes open a country inn together. However, their integration into bourgeois society fails - Adua, Lolita, Marilina and Milly soon discover that they cannot leave the past
The movie is a throwback to a time when ordinary people enjoyed simple pleasures like going to their club, or taking in the pictures and growing their chrysanthemums in the adjoining greenhouse garden...so very British.
