Movie Description
17 years after a black woman is artificially inseminated with an anonymous donor's sperm, her daughter tries to find the man who is her father -- only to find out he is a ridiculous white redneck.
Synopsis
Sarah is an African-American single parent raising Zora, a bright high-schooler. When Zora discovers that her mom conceived her through artificial insemination, Zora sets out to discover her father's identity. However, Zora is stunned, and Sarah is alarmed, when the sperm donor turns out to be a very shallow, smarmy, fast-talking car dealer named Hal Jackson -- who's white! Zora wants to get to know her dad better; unfortunately her mother and Hal mix worse than oil and water. But as Sarah and Hal come to accept each other's race and their situation, they begin to see one another in a new light.
