A man with a wife and two daughters learns that he has a son. It seems that a few years ago while visiting France, he had an accident and he had an affair with the doctor who treated him. Now he has learned that she just died and is informed of his son. He then tells his wife, she then suggest that they bring him over. While there all sorts of tension begin to arise. How will this affect them? 好温情，但没大团圆的结局，艺术源于生活。 内容简单直接的催泪电影，根据《爱的故事》作家埃里克．席格的另一畅销小说改编而成。马丁．希恩在片中饰演的一名家庭幸福、婚姻美满的好男人巴伯，本身有两个女儿，然而在十年后他知道自己多了一个儿子，那是当年在巴黎出差时跟一位法国女郎婚外情的结晶。如今，小孩的母亲意外去世了，这个孤儿必须从巴黎到美国投奔父亲，而巴伯也必须说服家庭成员接受他这个亲生骨肉。导演狄克．李察斯以诚恳的态度来处理这个充满戏剧性的人伦故事，并没有刻意地夸张煽情，反而情感入心。马丁．希恩与女主角布莱思．丹纳的演出也相当精彩。
