Brothers

August 8th, 2010

Sunday August 8 at 8.30 PM on Maori Television

Michael is a successful man with a thriving military career and happy home life with wife Sarah and their daughters. By contrast, his younger brother Jannik is never far from trouble, and he is released from jail the very day Michael is sent to Afghanistan on a peacekeeping mission. When Michael's helicopter goes down - and he is presumed dead - the younger sibling decides it's time to reform, and he becomes a support for Sarah and the girls. Michael eventually reappears, but his experiences have left him with severe psychological issues. The weak is stronger, the strong is weaker - have the brothers' roles have reversed forever? From Danish director Susanne Bier.
