Synopsis

This series puts in scene the mishaps of Edina and Patsy, two London quadragénaires, large consumers of alcohol and various Drogue S. Edina, which directs its own company of public relations, maintains the difficult relationship with his/her daughter, Saffron, which she considers too serious. Patsy, journalist of anorexic mode (“it did not swallow anything of solid since 1973”), nicotinic and Nymphomane, live more or less with the hooks of Edina, its only friend.
