Tako ne zna ko mu je otac i u svom albumu skuplja sličice crnih pjevača i glumaca i mašta da mu je neko od njih otac.
Tako odlučuje da postane crnac i počne da vježba da se ponašao kao crnac.
Kada se konačno susretne sa Dirty Man dobija lekciju koju će pamtiti cjeli život i rođendansko slavlje o kakvom nije ni sanjao.
Suština ove lijepe priče je da moramo da naučimo da prihvatamo druge ljude onakve kakvi jesu, bez osude i želje da ih mjenjamo. Da bi to postigli moramo prvo prihvatiti sami sebe. Svi se mi tokom života mjenjamo u skladu sa načinom života i godinama postajemo svjesniji svojih želja, promašaja i dostignuća. Zadovoljni ili ne to smo što smo i društvu u kojem živimo možemo ponuditi samo to i ništa više. Sve drugo je laž.
Tako, an adopted black kid, is raised by two white lesbian mothers. He's the whitest black kid in school and the other black kids bully him by calling him 'Bounty', after the coconut-filled chocolate bar: black on the outside, white on the inside. Tako doesn't know who his father is and he fantasizes that his father might be a big star like Dutch-Surinamese soccer stars like Clarence Seedorf or Ruud Gullit. To his surprise, Tako finds out that there's a good chance that his biological father might be the popular Dutch gangster rapper Dirty Man. When two Surinamese bullies tell him his father would be ashamed to have a 'bounty' as a son, Tako is left with only one solution: he has to become blacker… For a fee his bullies train Tako in becoming black. When he finally meets Dirty Man in person Tako learns a powerful lesson about staying true to yourself.
The Trip (2002)
The agent of Alan's transformation is Tommy Ballenger (Steve Braun), a Texas teenager who has moved to Los Angeles to work for gay rights. When Alan first meets him -- at a louche party organized by Peter Baxter (Ray Baker), an older entertainment lawyer -- Alan sees Tommy as a potential interview subject for his book, a conservative attack on gay rights that he plans to call ''The Straight Truth.''
Alan and Tommy soon make a gratingly perfect couple, which rouses the envy of scaly old Peter. His cunning plan, worthy of Alexis Carrington at her worst, consists of forcing a friend to publish Alan's long-abandoned, long-repudiated manuscript anonymously. When the book immediately becomes a best seller -- it is now 1977, at the height of Anita Bryant's ''Save Our Children'' campaign -- Alan continues to hide his authorship (though surely one talk show appearance denouncing his own former self would have gained his movement considerable publicity), allowing Peter to inform the media.
But wait, as they say in infomercials, there's more: you also get a set of Ginsu steak knives, in the form of a third act, set in 1984, that finds Alan living in resigned misery with the predatory Peter. He receives a message from an old friend telling him that Tommy, now living in Mexico, is dying of AIDS and would like to see his former lover one more time.
