A musical drama inspired by the 1956 classic, Tiga Dara. It tells the story of three sisters—Gendis, Ella, and Bebe—who live with their father and grandmother after their mother passed away. Each of them has a different personality, but they are all independent and focused on their careers. However, their grandmother becomes worried because her granddaughters are still unmarried. She then tries to find them suitable partners, which leads to various comedic situations, family conflicts, and questions about love and freedom.
