One after another, the three young daughters of Pelopidas and his wife, Pelagia, announce that enough is enough and that they are bent on divorcing their authoritarian and old-fashioned husbands. The reason is their tantalising super-mini skirts: the ultimate expression of freedom and a powerful means of female emancipation. Before long, the girls' spirited aunt, Polixeni, too, decides that she's better off without her spouse, Telis, and as a result, Pelagia is also starting to get ideas. Now, if they want their wives back, the men need to shape up. But, until then, it's down with men.
