A lighthearted comedy set in the 1970s explores the dilemmas of a devout Catholic man as he grapples with his priest's teachings on contraception. His wife's desire to halt their growing family prompts him to reconsider traditional beliefs and societal expectations. As he navigates the tension between faith and modern family planning, humorous situations arise, challenging both his convictions and the dynamics of their marriage. The film cleverly balances comedic moments with thoughtful reflections on love, choice, and the impact of religious doctrine on personal lives.
