Long Lost Family

A man clings to a solitary newspaper clipping as his only reminder of his birth mother and siblings. Meanwhile, a woman is on a quest to locate her sole child, whom she last saw when he was ten days old.

The programme follows two intertwined stories. One centres on a man whose only link to his birth mother and siblings is a faded newspaper article. The other follows a woman who has spent years trying to locate the only child she gave birth to, a child she hasn't seen since he was ten days old, and has been searching ever since. The man's entire recollection of his family rests on that single article, which serves as his sole reminder of who they were and where they might have been, the article, the only physical reminder he holds. Meanwhile, the woman's search is driven by the absence of any contact with her son since infancy, prompting her to pursue any lead that could bring them together again. Both characters are defined by the scarcity of tangible connections to their loved ones. The narrative juxtaposes the man's reliance on a piece of printed history with the woman's active quest for a living relative. Their journeys highlight how a solitary fragment of information can shape a person's entire sense of identity, while the longing for a lost child fuels a persistent, unresolved pursuit. The programme presents these parallel quests without offering additional context beyond what each protagonist possesses, and it does so through their parallel narratives.
