The priest's children

Motivated by desire for demographic renewal, Don Fabijan , a young priest on a Dalmatian island starts secretly puncturing condoms before they are sold. He is soon joined by the local god- fearing newsstand salesman and the mad pharmacist, and they practically abolish all contraception on the island. However, after initial success, numerous weddings and new births, things become complicated. Finally, the bishop arrives to the island and the situation goes out of control.
