In post-World War II Germany, a small boy who survived Auschwitz wanders alone - feral, mute and terrified. He finds a makeshift home with a big-hearted GI, while the mother he does not remember searches desperately for him. (texto oficial do distribuidor)

This is quite a traditional story in the sense that it tries to show the viewer that there are happy endings. The Search literally screams that it must have a happy ending. And you'll probably want it. x War has brought forth powerful stories, and this one certainly belongs among them.

This is a famous post-war story that has great significance for the Czechs thanks to the participation of Jarmila Novotná (for whom it was her only role in the 1940s) and the Oscar-winning Ivan Jandl, thanks to whom the Czech language is heard in the film. These facts aside, this is an extremely tear-jerking film that pushes the envelope so hard that one can't help but think of "the roar of our tears." Robert Blum's music leaves nothing to chance, and if perhaps the image is not moving and eloquent enough, it will drive the viewer to the brink of a nervous breakdown. Shortly before their departure to the concentration camp, the Malík family behaves like a showroom of the National Revival... The mom is a professional singer and the words of songs flow sweetly from her lips - in fact, the whole household makes music - and after the war, this simple doctor's wife explains her excellent English with a simple reference to reading English books. I am not disputing the necessity of The Search in its time, it is just that Hollywood once again did not deny itself again and nothing will change the fact that Honza Masaryk was also present when Novotná decided to accept the role.
