Upon finding a mysterious key in his father's closet, Oskar sets out in search of the lock it fits.  Feeling disconnected from his grieving mother (Sandra Bullock) and driven by a tirelessly active mind, Oskar has a journey of discovery that takes him beyond his loss and leads to a greater understanding of the world."
