In an urban setting, a young and sexually adventurous housewife named Carol leads a contented life with her husband, David. They maintain an open marriage, exploring their desires freely, which includes Carol's intimate relations with their close friends, Anna and Eddie. Carol’s liberated view on sex starkly contrasts with conventional norms, fostering a tight-knit and liberating environment among their circle. However, this dynamic shifts dramatically when her conservative and reserved mother, Jennifer, comes to visit after being recently widowed. Jennifer's presence in Carol's liberal household stirs the pot, bringing an unforeseen tension to the menu of sensual explorations they were accustomed to.

As time progresses, Jennifer's staunch attitudes toward sexuality begin to waver under the influence of Carol's permissive lifestyle. Carol then embarks on a mission to initiate her mother into her liberated way of living, causing rifts and unexpected connections within their family and friends. This complicated interplay of desires and inhibitions brings underlying tensions to the surface and forces each character to confront and reassess their own sexual philosophies. What unfolds is an exploration of generational differences, personal freedom, and the complexities of human relationships.
