Synopsis

Lars leaves the army and joins a group of neo-Nazis, which organises ruthless raids against Arabs and homosexuals. Apprenticeship to the ‘brotherhood’ is tough and Lars is supported by Jimmy, who acts as his mentor, charged with testing his trustworthiness and the preparation of fundamentalist far right texts in the style of ‘Mein Kampf’. Unforeseeably, a passionate affair ensues between the two men. A love lived in secret, until the group’s racist and violent rules end up forcing the pair to face the inevitable quandary: to betray their ideological ‘brothers’ or betray their lover other and their own feelings. Whatever the choice, it will lead to violence one way or another, whether physical or mental. —http://2009.romacinemafest.org

A heavy-handed look at the psychology of hatred. That is, the hatred of others as well as the hatred of self. "Brotherhood" explores self-loathing and the concept of otherness in a very unique way. It is a frustrated musing on the classic debate on whether hatred and love can exist together in the same person.

Consistently powerful drama about two neo-Nazis whose beliefs are shaken when they discover forbidden feelings for each other. Suffers from some inconsistent characterization, but it's a haunting exploration of the inherent homoeroticism of male hate groups.
