Story
The protagonist of the film is financial analyst Laurel Iris. Laurel knows her job well and could achieve great success, but prejudice is very widespread in the business world: it is believed that women cannot occupy leadership positions and this impedes her career advancement. After Frank, her colleague, receives the promotion that Laurel should have received, she decides to leave the company and establish her own business.
After starting her own business, Laurel’s affairs are even worse, not a single large company accepts offers and refuses to cooperate. Then Laurel develops a risky plan: she decides to give others the impression that her business partner is a man - a prominent businessman Robert S. Catti, on behalf of whom she conducts business.
