HERMANO, a 2010 Venezuelan hit, comes to the United States for its American run. A film by Marcel Rasquin, the drama earned critical raves and earned the Golden George Award, The Public Choice Award, and the Critics Choice for the Best Movie at the Moscow International Film Festival.
BROTHER, opening August 24, tells a simple and powerful story about two kids raised together as brothers: Daniel (Fernando Moreno) and Julio (Eliu Armas) – who struggle to become professional soccer players. Daniel is an exceptional striker, a phenomenon. Julio is the captain of the team, a natural leader. Both of them play soccer in the La Ceniza slum. The opportunity of their lives arrives when a headhunter for the Caracas Football Club invites them to a tryout with the team. But their life at the slum interferes and a tragedy shakes them. They will have to choose their destinies on a dirt field. What is more important: the unity of the family or the dream of their lives?
