Fabio (Roberto Citran) has never wanted to be a grownup, and the fact that his wife Giulia (Violaine Ledoux) is nearing childbirth provokes him into a frenzy of childish acts. Rather than assist her in her doctor's visits, Fabio plays soccer with neighborhood kids, when he is not hanging out in the soothing quiet of the zoo's reptile house. As the time for the birth of his child grows nearer, he quits his reliable job to open a travel agency with a flighty friend. Giulia bears all this with some patience, but when he suggests that they celebrate the opening of the new agency by taking a vacation to the Maldive Islands (completely ignoring the fact that she is near to term with the baby) she completely blows her top. As usual, this sends him scuttering off to seek comfort somewhere else. However, the lovely woman he turns to for comfort insists that he return and take care of his wife.
