Bratan (Brother)

Seventeen-year-old Farukh and seven- year-old Little Fatsy are two brothers living in a small Tajik town, brought up by their grandmother since their parents separated. They decide to get to their father living in a faraway city where he works as a medical doctor in a sanatorium. To do so, they take an astonishing train through Tajikistan across hills and mountains, towns, and villages, up to the Afghan border. After a highly adventurous trip, they finally meet their father...

It is impossible to say that the film is based on my biography. Still, much in the film is affected by my personal emotions and experiences.
