Now that contraception is controlled by women, men seem to experience carefree sexual freedom. In reality, they lose autonomy over their own seed. Director Lynn Deen started the film out of frustration: Why was the woman always the one to carry the burden that comes with lust? Gradually she saw that this luxury position actually places men in a dangerous position of dependence. They have virtually no control over both the prevention and the termination of a pregnancy. That is why they should be more involved in preventing pregnancy. Not only for women, but especially for themselves.

A darkly comedic, personal testimony about birth control side effects and navigating the inadequacies of women’s healthcare.

An exploration of the early public debate surrounding birth control, the media's involvement, and the unstoppable Margaret Sanger, in a style mimicking the films of the period.

Elizabeth Bagshaw was a forerunner of the women's movement. As one of the first women to practise medicine in Canada, she had to overcome society's bias against women in medicine. During her seventy-year career she helped to instigate change in public opinion on that issue, as well as the issue of birth control. The film captures the personality of this remarkable woman through a contemporary interview and re-enactments of episodes from her youth. The sepia tones of the re-enactments are in keeping with the film techniques of the time, giving the viewer a strong sense of the period. The film is of special interest to persons interested in the evolution of women's roles in Canadian society.
