Jacques Demy sculpts an entertaining comedy about Marco (Marcello Mastroianni), a man who's improbably pregnant. The driving instructor can't quite believe what's happening to his body and doesn't know how to handle all the changes. His hairdresser wife, Irene (Catherine Deneuve), is at once perplexed, horrified and deeply confused as to how to deal with the situation, especially when the entire world, it seems, shows interest in his condition.
