This is the incredible story of Oli.

Full of humour, heart, and hard truths, the film follows Oli as he navigates the fragile dynamics in this new family formation.

Oli, 21, lives in London and has two Mums, who conceived him using an anonymous sperm donor in California. Oli always knew he was donor conceived, but is curious about his biology.

Signing up to a website that helps children of sperm donors find each other, Oli receives an email from someone called Jordan.

She reveals she’s Oli’s half-sister, and breaks the news that their donor, Daley, has revoked his anonymity. Then the real bombshell: Oli has 25 American half brothers and sisters.

Oli decides to travel to America, hoping that building relationships will be easier in person. He visits some siblings at home before meeting up with his donor dad and then joining the biggest family reunion to date.

Each of the siblings he visits has their own extraordinary story, which is revealed along the way.
