- I saw _My Brothers Keeper_ as a rough cut at last year's Virginia Festival
- of American Film. The story is about two brothers who had shared the same
- bed in this tiny broken down house, and one morning one of them wakes up
- dead.
- An investigation is started, and the facts point to murder, but no motive.
- I have no idea how it ends (the director didn't show it).
- The brother that is alive has a really strong accent, it is initially very
- hard to understand. One of the reasons the directors showed at the
- festival
- was to get input on how to end the movie, and wheter to subtitle the
- brothers speech. It was all really interesting.
