Directors Statement

I've been wondering since I was a kid what it would be like to have a brother. What kind of relationship do brothers have? How do they support each other? What do they talk about? And then one day I found myself in a small village. Walking through its center, I sat down at a bus stop, watching the locals. A man wearing kalpak (national headdress) approached me. We started talking. I realised that he lived with his elder brother. The man was looking for a job always thinking about his elder brother - he talked about him all the time. I offered him a part in the film. He agreed and I found myself in the world of the two brothers.
