| − | Celia is a housewife, Rupert is a businessman – and neither is happy with or successful in their respective role, inspiring them to simply swap! Thus Rupert discovers the blessings of hearth and home while Celia travels abroad, accompanied by an attractive secretary. The experiment proves unexpectedly successful – until Celia and Rupert’s daughter Karen, single mother of twin babies, arrives, thereby turning her parents’ well-oiled daily routine upside down and once more calls the seemingly clear role allocation into question.
