Class warfare hits the high seas in this Italian comedy about Gennarino (Giancarlo Giannini), a long-suffering crew member who works on a rich couple's yacht. The wife, Raffaela (Mariangela Melato), verbally abuses Gennarino and regularly insults his communist views. But when a day trip leaves the pair stranded at sea, they wash up on a deserted island and Raffaela is, suddenly, no longer the one in control. The role reversal leads to an unexpected and contentious love affair.

When a baby is left on their doorstep, hard-partying bachelors Pierre (Roland Giraud), Jacques (André Dussollier), and Michel (Michel Boujenah), experience a serious lifestyle change. Instead of carousing until dawn and chasing women, they're now changing diapers and learning the ins and outs of fatherhood. The baby's mother—one of Jacques' many conquests—has flown to the United States. In the meantime, the trio must protect the child from a mix-up with some drug runners.
