Brotherhood / Bratje

Francesco Montagner, Czechia, Italy, 2021, 97’

Three brothers, born into a Bosnian family of shepherds, are growing up in the shadow of their strict father, a radical Islamist preacher. When their father is sentenced to two years in prison, the brothers are suddenly left on their own. This documentary film immerses in the lives of three pubescent boys torn between the responsibility for family obligations and the fundamental youthful need for freedom.
