The lives of a Czech couple are turned upside down when the wife gives birth to the country's first quintuplets in this situation comedy. The parents are subjected to an endless series of medical tests used to research the unique situation. The frustrated father tears up the furniture in a lavish home that has been donated to them at no cost. Further media attention follows when the wife is pregnant again, but this time only one baby is born. Satirical jabs are taken at socialized medicine, spying among citizens, and communist bureaucracies.
