Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close tells the story of a little boy, Oskar Schell, desperate attempt to reconnect with his departed father a year after the 9-11 tragic. He found a key hidden inside a vase in his closet and set out on a journey to contact everyone in New York City with the name Black. One by one he visits each of them, checking if they do know his father while listening to their stories and recording them in his scrapbook.
He eventually finds the owner of the lock but comes no closer to his father. Slowly he lets go of the pain with the help of his grandfather and starts to open himself to his mother.
Rating: 4.5 out of 5 fairy clouds. The story slowly unravels with Oskar's journey. It is very touching to learn that his mother visited everyone whom Oksar would visit and prepare them of his visit.
