Synopsis

Two young women who shared a flat together in university re-unite after six years. As they re-acquaint themselves with each other, their past comes flooding back to them. In the course of their weekend they come face to face with others from their past and have to confront the inadequacy of their lives and the diminishment of their dreams. Career Girls is a moving, yet also hilarious, depiction of friendship, in which the humour is suffused with an unsentimental tenderness.
