A warm, playful comedy about a bored housewife's self-discovery through escape and adventure, balancing melancholy stagnation with genuine hope and renewal.

Wondering what has happened to herself, now feeling stagnant and in a rut, Shirley Valentine finds herself regularly talking to the wall while preparing her husband's chips and egg. When her best friend wins a trip-for-two to Greece Shirley begins to see the world, and herself, in a different light.
