Second Love) is a 2007 romantic drama film written and directed by Gina Kim, and starring Vera Farmiga.
Arriving home after her father-in-law's funeral, Sophie Lee (Vera Farmiga), a Caucasian woman, and her husband Andrew (David Lee McInnis), a Korean-American, have sex on their kitchen table; Andrew breaks down in her arms shortly after.
While waiting for an appointment at the clinic, Sophie witnesses an Asian man, Jihah Kim (Ha Jung-woo), arrive to make a donation.
She listens outside the door during his doctor's interview, and hears that Jihah is an illegal alien and they cannot accept his sperm.
When he returns home, Sophie propositions him for sex; she offers Jihah $300 per session, and if they are successful in getting pregnant, an additional $30,000 in cash.
While working at the dry cleaners one day, Jihah notices Sophie outside and encounters Andrew who comes in to pick up his jacket.
Meanwhile, Andrew arrives home early and answers the door to the delayed taxi driver.
While Sophie is there one day, police show up and detain Jihah for his illegal residence in the United States.
Jihah is told by authorities that he will be deported the next morning; while being held, he requests to make a phone call.
