When 75-year-old Richard sees his ex-wife Vanessa with a man 20 years her junior, he assumes they’re dating and starts a fight. To his surprise, Vanessa reveals that the man is their son he never knew existed. But that’s not the only secret Vanessa has been keeping.
Richard spots Vanessa and a younger man entering a café, their hands intertwined. Furious, Richard confronts them, accusing Vanessa of moving on too quickly. Vanessa and the man, Simon, are startled. Simon then asks, “Mom, is this my Dad?”
Richard is shocked. Vanessa admits Simon is their son, conceived during a brief reunion 54 years ago. She had kept the pregnancy and adoption a secret. Richard, overwhelmed, realizes Vanessa’s reluctance for children stemmed from this hidden past.
Simon explains he discovered his adoption details only recently. Richard, astonished by the revelation, acknowledges the importance of truth and second chances, hoping to reconnect with his newfound son and reconcile with Vanessa.
