Little Brother

A quiet, tearful family drama that aches with tenderness as a boy's illness reshapes the household around him.

Overview: Adaptation from a South Korean movie "Hello, Brother" (2005). The story follows Bima’s struggle to stay strong as cancer eats away at his body. However, his younger brother, Kresna—who doesn’t fully understand his brother’s condition—often teases him.
How it feels: Melancholic, warm, earnest and dark. Slow-burning and needs your attention.
About: Family, grief, death, healing
Content: Mild violence and gore. No sexual content or swearing.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
