I waited until I could rent this because I knew it was going to break my heart. And it did. This is the true story of an Indian child (later in life played by Dev Patel from Slumdog Millionaire) who gets stuck on a train that goes over 16000 miles away from his home. He doesn't remember the name of this hometown or his mom's name because he's just a little tiny thing. He ends up being homeless for months with dozens of people trying to take advantage of him. A couple from Australian adopts him (Nicole Kidman from Australia and David Wenham from LOR) and 20-25 years later he decides he needs to find his family. The ending is also heartbreaking. All in all, I say: SEE IT - with tissues.
