Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close

A year after his father's death, Oscar accidentally breaks a vase found among his belongings. Inside is a key in an envelope labeled Black. The boy decides that his father left him one last riddle and makes a list of all the residents of New York with the last name Black. On weekends, he visits their homes in five boroughs of the city, hoping to find the right lock. Gradually, the search turns into a journey through other people's stories of love, loneliness, and loss, and also helps Oscar take a closer look at his own family.
