Story plays off of child kidnapping fears and in particular the missing child from a Portugal beach resort a decade ago. Inadequate investigation makes this movie more fantasy than substance. The missing child used a phone so police can identify it's location from past cell tower use; GPS; other technologies. Travel records & security video in the area could have been used. We see none of this in the movie. It's 10 years later and emotionally torn mom sees someone that could be her missing son. DNA, easy to get, would have been a quick simple solution. Instead we get a weird love story.
