Between Brothers

Directed by Hsieh Hui-ching

Since the COVID-19 outbreak, Luo’s elder brother has been staying with him, who finds the arrangement increasingly irritating. When Luo’s brother unknowingly ruins his carefully prepared dinner for a date, long-held grudges come to the surface and the brothers enter into a big fight. Despite Luo’s good intentions, it looks like the dinner date is going to fail, and as his brother intervenes to save the day, the two talk again. The nuanced short is highlighted by a remarkable performance and a story that flows effortlessly with affecting emotions.
