The five friends, Stella, Priss, Kay, Helena, and Polly, first met at university, where their days were filled with leisurely afternoons and late nights. Their friendship seemed uncomplicated, characterized by endless conversations and the joy of simply being together. However, as the women approach their fortieth birthdays, they are realizing that their shared past can sometimes be a burden. They are navigating the divergent paths their lives have taken from their own plans and the expectations they had for each other. In the past, solidarity came effortlessly, but now they compare lovers, husbands, jobs, children, and sofas, questioning the impact of their choices and the missed opportunities. As marriages dissolve and secrets surface, they question whether the people who know them so well are truly trustworthy confidants.
