In India, five-year-old Saroo gets lost on a train travelling away from his home and family. Frightened and bewildered, he ends up thousands of miles away, in chaotic Kolkata. Somehow he survives living on the streets, escaping all sorts of terrors and close calls in the process, before ending up in an orphanage that is itself not exactly a safe haven.

Eventually Saroo is adopted by an Australian couple, and finds love and security as he grows up in Hobart. Not wanting to hurt his adoptive parents feelings, he suppresses his past, his emotional need for reunification, and his hope of ever finding his lost mother and brother. But a chance meeting with some fellow Indians reawakens his buried yearning.

With just a small store of memories and his unwavering determination, Saroo embarks on one of the greatest needle-in-a-haystack quests of modern times.

Kieran Darcy-Smith directs this mystery drama starring Joel Edgerton and Felicity Price. When Alice (Price) and her husband Dave (Edgerton) decide to get away from it all before the birth of their third child, they invite Alice's sister Steph (Teresa Palmer) and her new boyfriend Jeremy (Antony Starr) to join them. A relaxing holiday is not what's in store for the group however, when a night of drinking, dancing and drug-taking leads to Jeremy's disappearance. As fragments of the previous night begin to reveal themselves, everyone, it seems, is hiding a piece of vital information.
