Historia
An English bon-vivant osteopath is enchanted with a young exotic dancer and invites her to live with him. He serves as friend and mentor, and through his contacts and parties she and her friend meet and date members of the Conservative Party. Eventually a scandal occurs when her affair with the Minister of War goes public, threatening their lifestyles and their freedom.
Resumen
In swinging sixties London, a charismatic osteopath with high-society ties falls for an alluring exotic dancer. He opens his home to her and introduces her, along with her friend, to influential Conservative Party members via his lavish parties. The threesome navigates the treacherous waters of political and romantic entanglements until their secret affair with the Minister of War is sensationally exposed, threatening not just their reputations but also their liberty, in a scandal echoing the real-life Profumo affair of 1963.
