Comedy drama based on the true story of 12 ladies from Yorkshire baring all for charity. When Annie's (Julie Walters) husband John (John Alderton) dies from leukaemia, her friends at the Women's Institute decide that their prim and proper fundraising efforts need a bit of a shake-up. They find a more compelling way to raise money: starring in a nude calendar. Their modest hopes of selling a few hundred copies around the village to buy a sofa for the hospital which cared for John, are outstripped when the calendar becomes a worldwide sensation.
