A lighthearted comedy about a couple's desperate attempt to have a baby, built on absurdist premise and marital warmth rather than cynicism.

After he flunks a fertility test, a man realizes that the only way he can get his wife pregnant is by robbing a sperm bank to take back the last of the deposits he made there years earlier.
