Based on a true story.

Chris and Annie are the best of friends – very different, but very close. Living in a small village in the Yorkshire Dales, their peaceful lives are shattered when Annie’s husband dies of leukaemia. An active member of the local Women’s Institute, Chris enlists the support of her fellow members in a fund-raising initiative for the local hospital. Her seemingly traditional idea is to produce a calendar with a different woman photographed for each month. Each one will be engaged in a classic WI task, such as jam making, flower pressing or knitting. Sounds traditional enough, but her idea has a radical twist - the women will be in the nude. The playful and wry intent of the calendar unexpectedly strikes a nerve on a global scale to do with the visibility of women in their 50s and beyond. Before they know it, the gang are hitting the headlines at home and abroad, ultimately whisked off to Hollywood on a whirlwind publicity tour. Here, amidst the hype and glamour, the friendship between Chris and Annie is put to the test as the real reasons behind the calendar’s creation are called into question.
