A darkly comedic portrait of two 1950s housewives whose intimate friendship masks hidden pain and societal constraint, blending period nostalgia with the slow unraveling of their carefully constructed lives.
Two housewives in America in the 1950s, Mrs Fairytale and her best friend Mrs Emerald, meet every day to share their quiet and bourgeois lives, but the façade of perfection slowly crumbles to reveal terrible secrets.
