The Week the Women Went

Season two of the hit series "THE WEEK THE WOMEN WENT" returns to CBC Television this winter with more drama, more hilarity and more personal transformations than before.

The premise is simple. Take one small Canadian town, remove the women, and see if the men can keep the home fires burning - without burning the kids' dinner. This season, the women of Tatamagouche, Nova Scotia - a picturesque Maritime village with a population of approximately 700 - disappear for one week, leaving the men to fend for themselves and their families.

While away, the men - many of whom work away from home for months at a time - must juggle all the cooking, cleaning, child rearing and work duties alone while the women enjoy a week of pampering at a luxury resort. With relationships tested, gender roles reversed and emotions high, what ensues is an intimate video diary of how men really cope without women. (Source: http://www.cbc.ca/thewomenwent/)
