The plot of the movie is that the women of a small Soviet village go on a sex strike until the men of the village fix the pipe that is their water supply. A boy and girl are supposed to consummate their marriage for the first time as the sex strike begins. Much of the film revolves around the men of the town trying to find ways to have sex with their wives or other women, but the content is mostly non-explicit.

There is a scene where a girl who is supposed to be 14 (though the actress was 22) climbs onto her roof at night and takes off her dress to cool off. Full frontal nudity is shown. A boy of the same age who was spying on her steals her dress.

Limited and mild. The little violence that is in the film is played for laughs
