A young boy's lost childhood becomes a man's impossible quest in this profoundly moving true story. Five-year-old Saroo gets tragically separated from his family in rural India, finding himself alone and thousands of miles from home in the chaotic streets of Kolkata. After surviving against all odds, he is adopted by a loving Australian couple, played with heartfelt grace by Nicole Kidman and David Wenham. Decades later, the adult Saroo, portrayed by Dev Patel, is haunted by fragmented memories of his first family. With the support of his girlfriend, Rooney Mara, he becomes consumed by a desperate search, using the nascent technology of Google Earth to scan a continent for the home he barely remembers. Directed by Garth Davis, this emotional drama explores the unbreakable bonds of family and the incredible journey one man undertakes to find his way back.
