• Documentary / 110 min / Norway / 2015
Synopsis

The brothers Markus and Lukas live in an old townhouse in Oslo and spend their vacations in Smøla, where their mother grew up. Markus loves soccer, and wants to be a professional. Lukas is more of a philosopher asking questions about the world, about himself, and what it’s all is about. Sometimes, what they want and need is the direct opposite of being a loving son or brother. The documentary is filmed by director Aslaug Holm, the boys’ mother, over an eight year period. This is her attempt to capture their child-hood and brotherhood, and their discovery of life, whilst looking back at her own family history.
