Not Tonight

Synopsis: Using the setting of a medical school and the story behind the life of one of the students, the film attempts to stimulate interest in, and to make a preliminary exploration of, a few of the complexities of motivation in contraception. The interviews are designed to stimulate discussion of the hazard of interaction between doctor and patient, and recognition of the signs and symptoms of success or failure in communication as an interview progresses. The object is to facilitate debate on how best to achieve communication in this sensitive field, and to raise for debate the question of why different people may require different agencies in order to achieve the ideal choice of contraception.
