Movie description:
For Jack (10), having a family is the most important thing in the world. Then, one day, his mother disappears. Together with his younger brother Manuel (6), he embarks on a journey to find her ... the journey of a boy who has learnt from an early age to take responsibility. In the end, his brave and startling decision holds up a mirror to all of us.
Although he is only ten years old, Jack is responsible for himself and his little brother Manuel and this fills him with pride. Their single mother works during the day and often goes out at night. There’s no father in sight. One day, Manuel burns himself with boiling hot water while bathing and Jack is blamed for the incident. It’s reason enough for social services to put him in a home where he is dreadfully homesick. He soon gets into trouble and bolts, heading for home. He arrives back, only to find his mother is once again absent. Jack and Manuel roam the city in search of her. They sleep in parks and in an underground car park, run away from the police and encounter adults, some of whom help and others who are indifferent.

Ein einfühlsamer Film, der aufzeigt, wie egoistisch die Mutter ist, die ihre Kinder auf sich alleine stellt und nur an sich denkt. Jack meistert das mit einer großen Hingabe für seinen jüngeren Bruder und weist selbst Erwachsene in ihre Schranken.
