After some mysterious events, all the women of a small Scottish village find themselves pregnant. Their children are all extremely precocious and endowed with paranormal powers; it will soon be discovered that it was aliens who impregnated the women. A small black-and-white classic of fantahorror; appreciable above all for the originality of the subject, but partly "spoiled" by a rather slow pace that does not favor the viewer's involvement. Only for genre lovers.
