Project Detail

Brothers

Synopsis

Brothers Arne and Oystein have spent almost every day of their lives together. Alone since their mother's death, they've grown old in their childhood home in a small Norwegian valley. The filmmaker observes the stillness of their daily life, engaging the audience in a different tempo and emphasizing the role of the powerful landscape. As our understanding of the character grows, Brothers becomes an emotional exploration of their intense relationship and their lifelong difficulties in coping with the outside world.
