Beginning in a Dublin hotel, Penelope, Salemina, and Francesca understand how traveling unmarried may seem odd to others, but they comically embrace their experience together. In their conversations, they share their ideas and feelings about love and marriage, especially Penelope, who finds herself thinking more about these things because she is now married.
