Twenty years ago, David, now a slacker in his forties, spent a lot of time at the sperm bank to earn some money.  Today, he finds out that not only has he “fathered” 533, but that 142 of them are filing a class action lawsuit against “Starbuck” –his sperm donor pseudonym– in order to uncover his identity. This hilarious comedy from Quebec was the surprise hit of last summer’s French box-office!

Hollywood is working on a remake starring Vince Vaughn.

Shown with Bad Gones by Stéphane Demoustier.
