Fonzy, a French comedy film directed by Isabelle Doval, centers around Antoine, a 42-year-old man who works as a deliveryman for his father's fish business in Paris. Labeled as a failure and underachiever by his family and friends, Antoine learns from a fertility clinic that he has fathered 533 children via his anonymous donations to a sperm bank.

Throughout the movie, Antoine and his entourage are seen trying to make their way through the rollercoaster of emotions that come with mixing a large number of eccentric characters in the midst of a life-changing discovery.
Fonzy is a heart-warming and hilarious movie that tells the story of a man discovering the real meaning of family while trying to keep his identity a secret. Its Parisian settings, the language, characters, and storyline add to the charm, making it an entertaining watch for all viewers.
