The artful style of this short drama illustrates the tension between two brothers who are trying to rediscover their past closeness. They speak between a prison glass window that separates them in the frame of the film and also metaphorically points to the thick barrier that now exists between them. Behind their anger lies the closeness of blood relations and the tenderness of their childhood innocence. Sibling rivalry, childhood disappointments, and genuine love are laid bare in this poignant piece.
