## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

A certain kind of British pluck gets a cheeky workout in this true-ish tale of wartime morale and bare legs. A recently widowed woman buys a theatre and, facing stiff competition, decides the solution is more skin. It’s less about breaking barriers and more about figuring out how to keep them half-open.

**Mood tags**: bittersweet, cozy, playful
