My Brother Is an Only Child
“Sometimes the things we fight about are what brings us closest together”
ComedyDramaHistory
Accio and Manrico are two working-class brothers in 1960s Italy: older Manrico is handsome, charismatic, womanizing, and loved by all, while younger Accio is moody, hotheaded, and lives everything as if it was a war, much to his parents' chagrin. While the former is drawn into left-wing politics, Accio joins the fascists out of spite. His flimsy beliefs are put to test when he falls in love with Manrico's like-minded girlfriend.
VIBE
A tempestuous, politically charged dramedy about brothers on opposing sides of ideology and love. It’s a messy, vibrant, and ultimately tragic look at youth, passion, and the devastating consequences of deeply held beliefs.
