When Desperation Turns Into Motherhood's Fight

Lost, Found follows a single mother whose two-year-old daughter disappears while in the care of her newly hired nanny, leading her into a desperate search that gradually uncovers the nanny's troubled past.

Through its mystery and social themes, the film explores motherhood, custody, gender expectations, and how personal suffering can push people toward desperate choices.
