All is fair in love and Dior in this swingingly stylish sequel to The Freudian Slip.

It is the sixties and times are changing. Hemlines are getting shorter, stockings are being discarded and women are doing it for themselves.

At the advertising agency of Bofinger, Adams, Rawson & Keane, three women - Desi, Bea and Isabel - are making their way in a man's world. For them jingles and catchphrases are easy - having a life outside the office is so much harder.

Adulterous affairs, pining for an overseas love and being used to exact revenge on a former fiancée all take their toll on these three fashionable women. But the changing social landscape means there are surprises in store - and that love can be found in the most unexpected places.
