A scene from Lion 2016
Saroo Brierley Dev Patel

[on phone]

Hi, Mum. I know you’ll be sound asleep. I just want to say that I’m safe. I’m safe, and the questions have been answered. There are no more dead ends. I’ve found my mother, and… she thanks you both for raising me. She understands that you’re my family. She’s… …happy just knowing I’m alive. I’ve found her, but that doesn’t change who you are. I love you, Mum, so much. And you, Dad. And Mantosh.
