Donna wants to live the perfect Free Woman life. At the same time she needs the daily comfort of a close relationship to her girl-friend Britt. Britt is romantically inclined in an old-fashioned way and would rather opt for life with a wrong man than with no man at all. A man also enters Donna's life. The perfect freedom is put to severe tests in this comedy-drama about young independent big city people.
