FINDER OF LOST CHILDREN
Director: Ricardo Scipio
Narrative, Color, 142 min.
Canada 2009
English

"Finder Of Lost Children" is the story of two half-sisters that meet for the first time at the funeral of the father neither of them knew. These reluctant siblings make a road trip to deal with their father's meager possessions and in doing so, discover the existence of several other lost brothers and sisters who are unaware of their father's passing. The two mismatched sisters decide to extend the road trip to find their brothers and sisters. Along the way they discover the keys to their past and future through the secrets and lies that confront them – buoyed by the humor and humanity that is the irrepressible Caribbean spirit.

"Finder Of Lost Children" ist die Geschichte zweier Halbschwestern, die sich zum ersten Mal auf der Beerdigung ihres Vaters begegnen, den beide nicht kannten. Diese Geschwister wider Willen begeben sich auf eine Reise, um sich um die wenigen Besitztümer ihres Vaters zu kümmern. Dabei entdecken sie, dass es noch weitere vergessene Brüder und Schwestern gibt, die vom Tod ihres Vaters noch nicht erfahren haben. Die beiden ungleichen Schwestern beschließen, ihre Reise auszudehnen, um ihre Brüder und Schwestern zu finden. Auf ihrem Weg werden sie mit Geheimnissen und Lügen konfrontiert und entdecken dadurch den Schlüssel zu ihrer Vergangenheit und Zukunft – belebt durch den Humor und die Menschlichkeit der unverwüstlichen karibischen Seele.
