New mom, Sarah (Julia Richter), doesn’t agree with Jan, when he tells her they must find his true/biological parents.
Raju is directed and co-written by Max Zähle with writer Florian Kuhn.
Raju is really the only serious/dramatic film amongst the Oscar nominees for Live Action Short Film and is my predicted winner. Alex, who attended the showing at Tivoli, also agrees.
