Summary
In Madrid during the 1920s, many women find employment as nurses for
bourgeois families. To provide milk for the offspring of their
wealthy employers, these women must themselves give birth, and for this
they call upon the services of Paco, a remarkably fertile young
man. Once he has performed the task required of him and taken his
modest payment, Paco goes on his way, refusing to have anything to do
with the countless babes he has fathered. All is well until a
young doctor, Don Manuel, begins to provide the same service for free...
