Unsuspecting women face a desperate mother as Marisa searches high and low for possibilities and the full scale of David's infidelity is revealed.

Whilst during this as David convinces a now pregnant Veronica to keep the child hoping it will be a viable donor for Jack, at the same time Mariasa comes across Janice, whose defiantly rebellious fifteen-year-old daughter Kerry might just be David's daughter making her an older paternal half-sister and therefore a life saver for Jack.

[4] Reviewers' comments included:[citation needed] Leonard Maltin: "A deeply emotional film, clearly made with tender loving care.

David Stratton, The Australian: "Wonderfully acted and scripted… Smit-McPhee, particularly, brings grace, dignity and child-like optimism to his character, and he is heart-breakingly impressive as Finn".

David Tiley, Screenhub: "A terrific, passionate, sobby, craftful heartgrabber, a grown up film about a vast and honest emotional arc".

Jim Schembri, The Sydney Morning Herald: "It's a no-holds-bar emotional slam dunk as a young mother (superbly played by Jacinda Barrett) desperately searches for a bone marrow match for her son from among the illegitimate children fathered by her promiscuous husband (Richard Roxburgh).
