Rafik and Ibrahim, two Kurdish brothers with very different outlooks, struggle to shape their lives in a new world far from home. Rafik does what he can to survive. Ibrahim seeks solace in tradition as he works towards achieving his dream. When their actions collide, it’s up to them to come to terms with their differences. Brotherhood is about the choices we make that define who we are.
