Forget the mediocre La La Land and go and see this. Set initially in India it tells the story of Saroo a little boy of 6, who travels with his older brother who is looking for work in a nearby area. Whilst at the train station waiting for his brother to return Saroo climbs into an empty train and falls asleep, when he wakes the train is hurtling along and he is alone. The train travels 1000 miles east and it's destination is Calcutta where Saroo who speaks only Hindi cannot make himself understood to the Bengali speaking population. To cut a long story short after living the precarious life of a street child he is placed in an orphanage and after a short period of time is adopted by an Australian couple and taken to live in Tasmania. They are wonderful parents and when we meet him as an adult he has had a good life but increasingly the memories of his childhood and desire to find his lost family overwhelm him and with the aid of Goole Earth maps he tries to piece together where he came from. This is an incredibly moving film very well acted by Dev Patel as the young man, Nicole Kidman as the mother who adopts him, but partcularly by the wonderful little Indian boy who plays him as a child an absolute natural. Take a big box of tissues.
