Spanning a critical historical time from 1929 to 1940, three young women search for love in this high-spirited adaptation of Nancy Mitford's novel. For Fanny it's a simple matter of marrying a decent man, and from her safe domestic haven, she watches as Linda chases love throughout Europe, while the beautiful but icy Polly contracts a marriage that shocks society and breaks her mother's heart. At a time when turmoil sweeps across Europe, the young women leave behind their careless and innocent youth as they pursue love and happiness through places far beyond their expectations.
