), sees three families hit crisis point when their respective daughters all get engaged. Three desperate fathers see their worst nightmares come true: they’re convinced that their young daughters have chosen the wrong men. Believing that they’re acting in the best interests of their daughters, they join forces to get rid of the three suitors as expediently as possible, testing the patience of their wives in the process and nigh-on torpedoing their own relationships. Good will out in the end... But “good” in whose eyes?
