Summary

A co-production of companies from Canada, Tunisia, Qatar and Sweden, the film explores the tensions within a Tunisian family when a man who has been away for several years returns home with a new Syrian wife who wears the full niqab, igniting his father's suspicions that his son has been working for the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant.[3]

Inspiration

The film's title was chosen to reflect both the familial connotations of the word "brotherhood" and its use in the name of the controversial Islamist organization Muslim Brotherhood.[2]

The film premiered at the 2018 Toronto International Film Festival, where it won the award for Best Canadian Short Film.[4] In December 2018, it was named in the TIFF's year-end Canada's Top Ten list.[5]

At the 21st Quebec Cinema Awards in 2019, the film won the Prix Iris for Best Short Film.[6] The film received a nomination for the Best Live Action Short Film at the 92nd Academy Awards.[7]
