Raising quintuplets in a small town in South Dakota, the Fischer family navigates the joys and challenges of having five babies born in 1963.

Meet the Fischers, the parents of the first US quintuplets to survive, born in Aberdeen, South Dakota in 1963. The film takes us on a journey as we see the physician examine each infant, meet the family's older siblings, and witness the donations pouring in. We also follow the family's daily life, including a shopping trip and a farm outing with the dad and older children. As the quints approach their first month, the town comes together to celebrate with a dinner, speeches, and a parade.
