Story
In 'Ladies in Black', set in Sydney during the late 1950s, we follow a group of employees at a prestigious department store called Goode's. The story primarily revolves around Lisa, a young woman from the suburbs who starts working at the store's lingerie department. As she navigates her new life in the city and the world of high-end retail, Lisa forms friendships with her colleagues, including Magda, an elegant, European-born woman who is a prominent saleswoman at Goode's. The film explores themes of friendship, love, and personal growth as Lisa learns about independence and self-discovery while working at the store.
Summary
'Ladies in Black' is a comedy-drama adapted from Madeleine St John's bestselling novel of the same name. Set against the backdrop of late 1950s Sydney, the film offers an enchanting portrayal of life behind the counters of Goode's department store. The movie explores themes of female friendship, love, and self-discovery through the eyes of Lisa, a young woman who leaves her provincial life to work at this iconic establishment. With its tender-hearted narrative and alluring portrayal of a bygone era, 'Ladies in Black' serves as both a celebration of women's resilience and a nostalgic glimpse into Australia's past.
