A young bookseller's love-at-first-sight encounter becomes complicated when he discovers the woman is his mother's new partner.

The story

Jan, a young bookseller who is single, believes he has experienced love at first sight when he sees Rosalie outside his bookshop. The moment turns into a shock when Rosalie introduces herself as Viktoria’s new partner. Viktoria has been openly lesbian for several years, and the couple want a child. They ask Jan to donate his sperm, prompting him to point out the unusual family relationship that would result: he would be the baby’s biological father and its brother. Jan initially refuses, but the request becomes more complicated because he finds Rosalie extremely attractive.

The couple now want a child, for which Jan is asked to donate his sperm. He points out to Rosalie and his mother that he would then be the baby’s biological father and, at the same time, its brother. After initially refusing, he agrees to the two women’s unusual request, especially since he himself finds his mother’s girlfriend extremely attractive.
