"Fertility doctor Jan Karbaat secretly used his own sperm. An intimate documentary about two mothers and their children trying to live with each other and with that knowledge. In a recreated clinic, two mothers and their children discuss the impact of this discovery on their lives and their relationships with each other.
While the mothers are primarily emotional, the children contemplate the (hereditary) traits they cannot have from their mother. What does their biological father's actions mean for them? Will the bond between mother and child ever be the same again?"
