You take your cute flying baby outside and he flies away. You don't look for him, and are happy replacing him? You take pictures of said flying baby and just leave when he flies away. Call me a sap but this make me sad for the little guy.
French people you suck

I just watched this and couldn't believe that there wasn't a massive search for the baby. No police, no military, nothing. I understand where the director was going with it as an art film but not very realistic.

You're right but it's just a movie, the story itself couldn't happen... No need to post hateful comments.

Or, why not put it under a different light:
The whole society (not French, this story is a very globalized one) left the family struggle with its own problems and the only person that appeared to be at least partially honest and with certain good intentions (though some others could be hidden) was the doctor. The rest of the world was interested in them only as any other sensation for one day would make them turn their heads and open their eyes. There was a freak, the kind of freaks that their parents and grandparents used to watch in circuses, in tents on fairs and special occasions like religious holidays. They would have paid a coin, see the bearded woman, man without ears or extremely fat child, and forget about them before the fair was over. Today, it is the same - people pay their TV cable that present them pictures of freaks, and don't remember them longer than the end of next sensational story presented by another reporter.
So, as long as reporters saw a front page story they were interested and ready to pay for it (expecting a lot more in return). Once there was no more freak to be broadcasted to sensation-hungry audience their interest vanished. And what doesn't appear in media doesn't exist. So nobody cared for baby any more, as nobody (media in the first place) had no financial interest, the baby was again just a poor family's concern. And they had no power to move the police, to mobilize the army or alert rescue services. And no money for investigation on their own. Just, please don't tell it's something tipical for France: it's something tipical for globalized 21st century.
