A love columnist, Sylvia, invites six friends over to talk about love and sex. They include her partner Morris, and her best friend Tracy, who is having an affair with Morris. There is also fashion designer Viv who turns up with her boyfriend Tom, who has a history with John, and Dan, who knows Tracy.
Variety called it "a familiar but entertaining and well-acted comedy-drama... diverting, low-scale entertainment, thanks mainly to the excellent performances, with the women especially good. " [3]
