Story
Although the resident of Quebec, David Wozniak, is already over forty, he has not achieved anything in life yet: he works as a meat delivery man in a family company, owes a large sum of money to some thugs, and his pregnant girlfriend Valerie does not see him as the responsible father of the family and intends to raise a child one. Soon, a new one is added to these problems: from a lawyer, David learns that it was not in vain that he donated sperm in a local clinic and that now more than a hundred of his offspring want to know who is hiding behind the pseudonym Starbuck. At first, David was sharply tuned to remain incognito and win the trial that had begun. However, a folder with brief information about his children falls into his hands, and he, unable to resist, pulls out leaf after leaf. Without revealing himself, he meets some of his children and tries to help them to the best of his ability. Gradually they become close to David, from the past indifference there is no trace left ...
