(Original title: Fratelli) Martina is a twenty-year-old woman, daughter of a gruff agricultural entrepreneur and a housewife. Since her adolescence, she has lived with her uncle in the city. After many years, she returns home for a family dinner to confess to her parents and younger brother that she is pregnant.
The home environment, however, is tense, largely due to her elderly father, who is accustomed to strict discipline and reluctant to consider the needs of others.
The short film was produced with the support of MIBACT – MIUR – Directorate General for Student Affairs, Integration, Participation, and Communication (Cinema and Images for Schools).
