Bogobojny Petar handluje prezerwatywami. Nie ma wyrzutów sumienia, bo papież wydał dekret, w którym częściowo godzi się na ich używanie. Na małej dalmatyńskiej wyspie, na której stoi kiosk Petara, pogłębia się jednak niż demograficzny. Wysłany na tamtejszą parafię młody katolicki ksiądz, don Fabijan przekonuje Petara, że można zadbać o przyrost naturalny... dziurawiąc sprzedawane kondomy. Do spisku księdza i kioskarza dołącza też konserwatywny farmaceuta. W zaciszu apteki miesza pigułki antykoncepcyjne z witaminami, czym pomaga położyć kres wszelkiej antykoncepcji w mieście. Mała wyspa na powrót się zaludnia. Przypadkowe ciąże owocują zawieraniem małżeństw mieszkańców Dalmacji z turystami. Informacje o szybkim przyroście naturalnym przekraczają granice Chorwacji. Przyciągają tłumy bezdzietnych par i ekipy telewizyjne. Miasto zaczyna tętnić życiem - kotłują się w nim namiętności, a trzej spiskowcy rozkoszy dbają o to, by niemowlęta przychodziły na świat w zdrowiu i wierze katolickiej. Sielanka nie trwa jednak długo... (Vivarto)

A million-dollar idea set on a picturesque Croatian coast. Sunny exteriors, a relaxing atmosphere conveyed in a fresh
Balkan manner, comical characters, humor of both a plebeian and intelligent nature (great jabs at the Church). A perfect
break from super-serious festival dramas, as well as tasteful and at a high filmmaking level.

A folk comedy and exactly the type of film Zdeněk Troška will never make. This is a film that has a lot of humor flowing from the screen. I have never seen such imaginatively-processed running-jokes. Yet what surprises me most is that most films like this lose steam in the second third, only to moralize in the final third. Here they keep it going to the very end. A standing ovation for the filmmakers is well deserved.

We must avoid sexual immorality, as some of them did, and in just one day, twenty-three thousand fell... (1 Corinthians 10:8) It won’t be such a massacre on a small Dalmatian island, but many of its inhabitants will not escape the consequences of their own and others' sins. So what if some have sore knees from laying tiles of good intentions... The troubles surrounding the despicable method of increasing natality are accompanied by populism, a light dose of political incorrectness and moralizing, a recurring musical motif, and a growing feeling that it doesn’t really engage me much. If Krešimir Mikić's mother stood before you with a pregnant belly and a list of potential fathers in hand, who would you guess it was?

It is obvious that this film from the Balkans arouses quite controversial and, in many cases, hesitant and significantly negative reactions. In my opinion, this stems from two facts. Firstly, for quite some time, The Priest's Children presents itself as a lighthearted summer comedy with somewhat provocative themes. However, in the second half, serious tones quietly start creeping in, which eventually leads to tragic moments. In short, you are dealing with a tragicomedy. Understandably, an appropriately tuned viewer will find it difficult to digest. Secondly, the film openly plays with human sexuality and tackles taboo topics using folk humor, which seems somewhat sacrilegious to appreciators of high art. For me, it deserves an honest 4 stars and my overall impression is 85%. It did not disappoint, but there's still something noticeably lacking that prevents it from achieving perfection.

It is almost a rule for the Balkans that they can turn a serious story into a total farce, which makes you laugh whether you want to or not. Nevertheless, The Priest’s Children do it exactly the opposite way. When it comes to the story, it is a great comedy, which I at times consider unnecessarily tragic. Well, that’s the Balkans. I think I haven’t seen a single movie of theirs that isn’t at least a little bit tragic. Anyway, I still really enjoyed the The Priest’s Children. With the arrival on a small Dalmatian island I remembered every time I travelled to Croatia and I immediately felt great. I don’t know about you, but for me, their islands are like a small visit to heaven, although the locals probably have a different opinion about that. Nevertheless, the locations made me so excited about the film that I had to watch it again the following day. That’s how happy this movie made me.
