My Brother’s Name Is Robert and He Is an Idiot

2019 · 174 min

A slow, claustrophobic drift through an endless summer where philosophical talk and simmering tension quietly curdle into unease.

Overview: For teenage twins Robert and Elena, a weekend can seem endless yet still fly by. Time almost stands still while discussing philosophy, lying in a blissful cornfield near a remote gas station. They are in their own little world, a twin world of twin games and twin love. A confined world where emotions rise, where pressure mounts into rage… The turmoil of adolescence.
