Sandra, who has just acquired the title of Lady Abbott by means of her husband’s honours, discovers at the celebration party that he is having a long-term affair with her best friend. Furious, she moves out to join her estranged sister Bif, who has a bohemian lifestyle in a modest flat on a London council estate. Eventually, Bif gently persuades Sandra to come to her local dancing classes, where she gradually begins to realise that there is more to life than wealth and a staid, oppressed retirement. Having ‘found her feet’, Sandra finally takes a great leap of faith. A positive, feel-good film, which should lift the spirits after the tedium of Covid.
