ABOUT HER BROTHER
 
© 2010 “About Her Brother” Film Partners

 

Ginko’s younger brother Tetsuro, a failed comedian, is the oddball of the family. Embarrassing, loud and plain inappropriate at times causes Ginko to disown him. The two reunite when she discovers Tetsuro is terminally ill. Tetsuro’s impending death marks the beginning of love and toleration. Heartfelt laughter and tears of sadness, there is hope for any brother-sister relationship.
