The Review: Live action short feature.

Puzzling German mini-mystery about a man who encounters a young boy who just may be the son he never knew he had. Several curious twists are reminiscent of M. Night Shyamalan.

One of the 2005 Academy Award nominees for live action short feature; others included Our Time is Up, Last Farm, Cashback, and Six Shooter.
