Marco, an Italian driving instructor living in Paris, pays a visit to the doctor, who promptly diagnoses him as four months pregnant. The medical miracle is heard round the world, as Marco becomes fodder for the press, a curiosity to the scientific world, and a cash cow for a maternity-wear company.

This exuberant comedy by Jacques Demy stars Marcello Mastroianni as… a pregnant man! Joyful, colorful and with a score by Michel Legrand, this is pure Demy at his most farcical, but also at his most metaphorical, emphasizing a need for change of attitudes towards gender roles and families.
