Ladies in Black follows the story of a young woman named Lisa, who is hired as a shop assistant at the prestigious department store, Goode's. As Lisa adjusts to her new role, she becomes friends with several other women who work in the store, including the glamorous Magda and the seemingly uptight Fay.
Set against the backdrop of a rapidly changing Australia in the late 1950s, Ladies in Black captures the spirit of a bygone era and explores themes of female empowerment, self-discovery, and the importance of embracing diversity.
As Lisa navigates the ups and downs of her new job and develops deepening connections with her colleagues, she also confronts some of the prejudices and expectations that come with living in a society that is just beginning to grapple with issues of gender equality and multiculturalism.
With its charming characters, witty dialogue, and beautifully crafted period setting, Ladies in Black is a heartwarming and nostalgic tribute to a time and place that still manages to feel fresh and relevant today.
