LITTLE BROTHER
Kazakistan / 2013 / 95 min / Colour
Little Yerken is an unlucky child. After the death of his mother and abandonment by his father and brother, no one remained to take care of him. He spends his days at school, caring for animals, and making clay bricks, clashing constantly with a corrupt world of adults who don’t want to take him seriously. When his older brother, Aidos, returns home, Yerken believes he at last has a family again. But Aidos is distant and opportunistic and once more abandons Yerken, after just a few days. In spite of it all, Yerken never gives up hope. This is a delicate story of dignity, tenderness, and strength of character.
