Plot

Marco (Marcello Mastroianni) is a driving instructor who is engaged to Irène (Catherine Deneuve), a hairdresser. After eating a chicken dinner, he complains to his housekeeper that she cooks chicken too frequently. He begins to feel bloated and tired and sees a doctor. The doctor determines that he is pregnant, and an expert concludes that the hormones in chicken have made him sufficiently feminine to carry a child. With his permission, the doctors publicize this event, and he becomes a model for a maternity clothing company creating a new line of paternity clothes. After a medical check it is believed that he had a hysterical pregnancy, but at the end he gives birth to a baby, notwithstanding he has no milk. In the meanwhile many other men around the world become pregnant as well.

Cast
gollark: There's some mechanism for trusting specific devices, except apparently it's based on some UUID thing which can just be copied into a different device, and there have been at least two exploits in the security it has.
gollark: Now, they did think of this!
gollark: It allows PCIe to external devices, and PCIe allows direct memory access, obviously a giant security risk.
gollark: Thunderbolt is kind of terrible security-wise.
gollark: Oh, those are less bad.
