Brother

Teddy is a protective older brother who keeps his little sibling close, but a deadly accusation upends their lives. When Teddy is charged with parricide for the murder of their father, he is sent to a closed educational center to await trial. The brothers come from a working class neighborhood where time feels scarce and survival is a daily calculation. Cut off from the comforts of family and normal life, he must survive inside a brutal, rule bound system he barely understands. The pressure to prove his innocence collides with new loyalties and fierce temptations, pulling him into a world where trust is scarce and danger lurks around every corner. What starts as a safeguard becomes a hard test of resolve and restraint under pressure.

Released in 2019, Brother is directed by Julien Abraham and presented as an original screenplay by Jimmy Laporal-Trésor Almamy Kanoute and Nicolas Peufaillit. The film blends street realism with social drama, anchored by strong performances from its cast.

Box office information for Brother is not widely reported, reflecting a modest release and limited international rollout. Specific figures are not readily documented in major trackers, suggesting the film found its audience primarily through festival appearances and selective venues.

Reception notes the film as a lean, tense drama about loyalty, protection, and the rough edges of youth in a hostile system. It relies on intimate performances to show how a brother's bond clashes with pressures that pull them apart, leaving little room for easy answers.
