As with so many adoption stories we’ve seen before on screen, all everyone is after here is closure. Whether or not anyone finds it - well, you’ll have to watch and find out, but this moving and revealing story is worth it. Even with an 88-minute runtime, it can sometimes feel like we linger too long on certain parts, especially in the early scenes back in Amsterdam. But once Farideh makes it to Iran and her journey begins to unfold, this poignant and emotional documentary finds its feet, revealing great insights into family life and what it means to find yourself.
