The child who fell from the sky (L'enfant tombée du ciel )

Tilly, a little Yougoslavian girl, lives alone with her mother Sonia in Bosnia, in the midst of bombings, shoot-outs and all the horros that war has to offer. Alex, a forty year old business man has just arrived from France, sent to deal with certain complaints concerning food deliveries supplied by his company. The case is being followed up by Sonia, and that is how the two meet. Such a strong relationship develops between them that it is easy to think that they had been friends forever and had shared a thousand years of memories…Just before Alex leaves, Sonia asks him to do her a favor - she wants him to take Tilly and leave her in the care of some family friends, the Ludovics. She herself would follow later on. Alex accepts whole-heartedly and does not even allow himself a moment’s hesitation. But upon his return to France, he discovers that the Ludovics no longer live at the address Sonia had given him…What shall he do with Tilly…
