Film Synopsis

Jeanne is an architect and mother of two who has made a success of both her career and her family life - until the day her husband tells her he wants a divorce.  This, and having to work on a project with a womanising chauvinist, just about kills off her interest in the male sex.  It's like her father said - life is so much easier for men than it is for women.  Jeanne can't help wondering what it would be like to be a man.  One night, she wakes up and, to her surprise, she finds she has undergone a strange metamorphosis.  It's not every day that a woman spontaneously acquires male reproductive organs, so naturally Jeanne is alarmed and beats a fast path to her gynaecologist, Dr Pace.  Her life is about to take a new and most unexpected turn...
