In yet another two parents take home-schooling to a whole new level of indecency, striving to give their isolated teenage son all the 'regular' torment and humiliation of puberty by bullying, peer-pressuring and even seducing him themselves.

During the meeting, the filmmaker begins to present a series of thirteen bizarre and unconventional stories. Despite the executive's reluctance, the filmmaker persists and forces him to listen to each story at gunpoint. These stories include a blind date where a woman discovers her suitor has testicles growing from his neck, a woman who offers her boyfriend her neck for him to poop on as a sign of love and commitment, and two parents who take homeschooling to an indecent level.

Throughout these unconventional tales, the film explores themes of love, relationships, and societal norms with a satirical and often outrageous approach. The stories are meant to shock and provoke the audience, while also highlighting the absurdity and hypocrisy of certain societal conventions.

With a star-studded cast and a relentless pursuit of boundary-pushing comedy, Movie 43 challenges conventions and pushes the boundaries of good taste. Its collection of offbeat fables aims to entertain and provoke, making it a unique and unconventional viewing experience.
