2018, NEW YORK CITY:

A group of six women from different backgrounds; NATALIA, CAMILLA, BRITTNEY, AUTUMN, ANA and EVE; find themselves at THE HAPPY, YOUTH AND FOREVER HEALTH CENTER'attending a self help group on how to be a proper woman. All led to this place either on false pretenses, confusion, or by force, they try to figure out together who decided that there should be a manual on how to be a "lady". One by one, they start talking about their lives; touching subjects being dealt with nowaways: from unfairness of being a woman at the workplace, harassment in different spaces (public, work, private settings), self love, transitioning from male to female, family values, soulmates, the idea of perfect beauty, to the theory that the image of "the vagina" has been displayed as an ugly monster in the media. By sharing every piece of their souls, and proving that gender is just a form of biological distinction, they start connecting and embracing one another. But who is in charge at The Happy, Youth and Forever Health Center? And why is a weird loud woman named CLAIRE their only source of communication in there?
