 An awkward young Irish farm girl Kate Brady (Rita Tushingham of "A Taste of Honey") moves to Dublin and shares a room with funny, outgoing Baba Brennan (Lyn Redgrave of "Georgy Girl"), where she soon meets Eugene Gaillard (Peter Finch) a middle-aged writer, who is immediately attracted to the shy and innocent Kate, ignoring the more sophisticated Baba. Tushingham and Redgrave teamed again three years later with the film s director Desmond Davis for "Smashing Time."
