Three women from very diverse backgrounds converged in a small area of Paris in the mid-1920s and became close friends. Their lives became inextricably entwined, their experiences shared, but their individual drive, verve and audacity led them through two world wars and the most remarkable exploits and encounters resulting in three amazing life stories. They enjoyed 'la belle epoque' - 'the good times' - and endured the bad, and emerged as fascinating icons of their times. Nina: born of a family of teachers in a small Cornish town in 1900, into a colony of artists, musicians and fishermen, who ended up singing for the wedding of Prince Rainier and Princess Grace in Monaco. Mouna: a Jewess, whose family originated from a small town in Tunisia in North Africa in the late 19th century, who ran her own couturier salon on one of the most prestigious and fashionable streets in the world, in Paris. Suzy: descended from one of France's most notorious privateers in her birthplace of Saint-Malo in Brittany, who gained fame as 'the most painted woman in the world'. This is their story.
