Lene Maria Christensen plays Anne, the late-aged TV-hostess, who has concentrated much of her time on her career and less time on finding a husband and having children. If she is to have children, she needs to have them now, even if it's with an anonymous donor. This recipe has been done before by Hollywood, but to me this version is a little more realistic.
Annes sister has three children with one more on the way. It's easy to tell that Anne thinks she'll make a much better mom than her sister, but she's visibly jealous of her sisters many children. Her brother in laws behavior raises the question of whether environment or genetics plays the major part in how children will turn out. A midwife tells her it's ALL genetics. Anne feels obliged to begin the quest of finding out who her donor is. This is where the movie really takes off and is quite enjoyable.
The casting is well-done and each character plays their role with pathos. There are many memorable moments, especially in Nikolaj Lie Kaas' lines and gimmicks.
