Eager to escape the damp and suffocating atmosphere of<br />
post-war Holland, three young Dutchwomen Ada, Esther<br />
and Marjorie look forward to a better life in New Zealand.<br />
They meet on the immigration flight – the “Bride Flight”<br />

On their arrival, all four part company and start a new<br />
