WWII is at an end. Baby boomers are in full bloom. In his attempt to regulate a skyrocketing population, Minister Araki (So Yamamura) of Health and Welfare is introducing a healthcare bill that aims to establish "Birth Control Consultation Centers" across Japan. The minister stood confident in front of his faction. As his oratory echoed in the national assembly, his 48 year old wife was receiving a different message from the doctor - She was pregnant. (Nikkatsu)
