Set in rural Rhodesia (today Zimbabwe), this film follows the development of two boys who leave school on the same day. One plans carefully for the future, including limiting the size of his family so that each child receives what they need and the family does not struggle. He prospers, while the other boy does not plan as well and becomes overwhelmed and impoverished, with a family of nine children to support. This film emphasizes the responsibility of the male in family planning.
