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.
