The Conception of My Younger Brother

2000 · 90 min

A sunlit, gently nostalgic recollection of neighbours and a wedding day, quietly unsettling as small details hint the memory cannot be trusted.

Overview: Director's memoirs of his childhood in a lively tenement house, in particular one hot summer day in 1949 when all tenants gathered to celebrate the wedding of the landlord's daughter. Small details slowly reveal that the narrator's recollection of the events may not be altogether correct.
How it feels: Warm, melancholic, earnest and whimsical. Measured and needs your attention.
About: Memory, family, identity, class
Content: Mild sexual content and language. No violence or gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
