A satire addressing the meaning of manhood in a world of fully emancipated women. Attributes/role identities generally assigned to women are reassigned to men – and vice versa. The film begins with the males showing off their manhood and virility. At the beginning of the film, the male characters are showing-off of their manhood and virility. Their testosterone-driven eagerness is made redundant when they fail to inseminate the egg. Instead, their fatherly instinct emerges, as soon as the children are born – how the babies are made however is left to the viewers to decide. The women on the other hand are loving and affectionate at the start but in the course of the film they give in to a fertility dance, celebrating their lust and femininity – only to disappear after the procreation has taken place.
