A German couple’s joy at meeting their adoptive son in India is temporary as they learn that Kolkata’s crowded streets are an easy place to lose someone. The film becomes a cultural window into the vast gulf between a poor country and a rich one, and the way a crisis can reveal one’s values. Probably the best of the five nominees for the Oscar for best live-action short.
