Comedy. Drama Don Fabijan is a young priest who comes to serve on an unnamed small island in the Adriatic. In order to help increase birth rate on the island, he decides to pierce condoms before they are sold. He therefore teams up with the newsagent Petar and the pharmacist Marin. After they abolish all forms of birth control on the entire island, the consequences become more and more complicated.

	Author	Review
United States	Ben Sachs Chicago Reader	"This maintains a bright, cartoonish tone no matter how outlandish or gruesome the story gets, with the growing disparity between form and content providing some of the better laughs."	POS
United States	Boyd van Hoeij The Hollywood Reporter	"Hardly original but very entertaining clergy-and-condoms comedy."	NEU
United States	Alissa Simon Variety	"This acerbic satire pokes fun at hot-button ethical issues in highly cinematic, jauntily paced fashion."	POS
