Jean,
This is a French language movie with English subtitles. It is about one really serious screw-up named David who was a regular sperm contributor to a fertility clinic at $35.00 donation. It then turns out that his sperm is used for 533 births. On top of that a group of the resulting children (142) file a class action suit to find out who is the sperm contributor who was assigned the name of Starbuck. They want to know their father.
The first half of the movie is gently funny as they have a lot of fun with the resulting complications as a result of all the successful births. (The clinic is proud of the quality of his sperm and uses his sperm repeatedly.) here is then a law suit and something of a trial. The second half of the movie dwells on the feel-good, human nature story of a few of the resulting children with whom he comes into contact. I think they could have developed the fun aspects of the main story line more than they did. The heart-warming changes that are brought on to David's character are well done but so predictable. Dad
