To help increase the birth rate of a small town on a Dalmatian island, the young priest Don Fabijan starts to pierce condoms before they are sold.

The film consists of eleven separate vignettes. In each, celebrities play semi-fictionalized versions of themselves who meet in a café or diner over coffee, tea, and cigarettes. Beyond the topic currently occupying their conversation, they often speak directly about coffee and cigarettes themselves. They most commonly discuss how coffee and cigarettes—that is, caffeine and nicotine—are unhealthy, especially when they constitute the entirety of one's lunch. Other recurring themes include the Lee family, cousins, celebrity worship, the connection between medical and musical careers, and Nikola Tesla’s belief that the Earth conducts acoustic resonance. In all cases, gathering for coffee—or tea—and smoking acts as a bridge for overcoming disagreements or making uncomfortable situations less awkward.
