A absurdist 1970s comedy that mines the surreal premise of male pregnancy for both satirical social commentary and lighthearted farce.

Marco Mazzetti, a driving instructor, lives with his wife Irène and their young son. After a series of nauseous dizzy spells he goes to the doctor and discovers that he is four-months pregnant. Marco then becomes internationally famous.
