Two brothers separated as children are reunited unexpectedly as adults. Their relationship develops against a background of their very different lives and careers. A universally resonant story about the power of family, this film chose itself.

Explores the complex relationship between a young boy and a woman deeply embittered by life. The story unfolds in a completely unsentimental and unforced way with an Oscar-winning performance from Fernanda Montenegro and an impressive debut from her co-star.
