Before doctors can approve of the surgery they want Sabrina to go out to NY and make sure his/her son is taken care of. Problem is the son’s mother has died and the only one to care for him is Sabrina. Not knowing this is his dad the comedy situations come in handfuls, but over all the film is a drama – We see the reason why we should be truthful to others and to yourself.
