When Aum was seven years old he ran away from home looking for adventure. Little did he realise that he wouldn't see his family again for over 15 years. The film recreates Aum's childhood years as we hear from him the reasons why he left home and why he never made it back. We learn that the adventure turned to nightmare and discover that he lived a homeless life, selling CDs to tourists on the streets. The film jumps forward to present day and the film shows how Aum's love of internet cafes opened up a world of discovery. Despite being illiterate, Aum realised he could use Google Voice Search to ask questions, like "How can I find my way home?". One thing leads to another and thanks to perseverance and good luck, Aum was eventually reunited with his father. Aum now helps other lost children reunite with their families.
