Brothers, a metaphor of love.
At first glance, this is a film about human dignity and family unity. However, it does not stop there. In its multiple layers, it explores other weighty and complex themes. Such as the fear that comes with daring to seek an identity in a society filled with prejudices and inequalities. It is also a movie about the choices we all have to make at some point in our lives, but in the case of these brothers, such decisions are made more difficult by the weight of the traumas and stigmas imposed by their environment. Which, through tragedy, pushes them towards anger, resentment, and violence.
To avoid drowning in this predetermined fate, they have only one lifeline; love, which also seems to be able to flourish in the driest deserts. Can they resist and save themselves, even if it's just one of them? This is the question posed at the beginning of the film, and which is revealed to us in a moving and sincere ending.
As for the technical aspects, the film is characterized by good photography, excellent handling of the shots, and a fragmented narrative with flash forwards and flashbacks, which although may seem confusing at times, at the end of each sequence, we realize that it is not, demonstrating how the apparent chaos prevails a sublime order.
If you are looking for a Hollywood-style movie simply to entertain yourself, this film is a 6 at best, possibly a 7. But if you are a sensitive and curious spirit who wonders what it's like to walk in the shoes of the less fortunate, then this film is for you.
