Very touching family search movie

The life of the little boy in India in the first half is well described, realistic and meticulous. The life in Australia in the second half feels a little unclear, and the various scenes are constantly switched, which makes people think about the connection between the front and back, especially the roles of the male and female protagonists. It's a bit too much, but it dilutes the mother-child line. It is an understatement for the male protagonist to use goole earth to find his hometown and finally find it. The facial expressions and soundtrack of the characters I met with my biological mother at the end moved me to tears. After the end, I couldn't help but rewind to this episode to watch it again. Overall, this is a very good movie and worth recommending.
