My Brother’s Name Is Robert and He Is an Idiot
Mein Bruder heisst Robert und ist ein Idiot
Synopsis
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.
