Overview

Akh (Brother) is a dark Arabic-language psychological drama that strips the brotherly bond down to its most primal and troubling depths. Feeling utterly drained by life and resentful of his responsibilities, Shihab plans a desert camping trip with the hidden intention of disposing of his wheelchair-bound brother Suhail. But once they arrive in the wilderness, a chain of events forces hidden truths to the surface, confronting both men with the ugliest and most fragile aspects of their relationship. Steeped in the symbolism of Cain and Abel, the film is a taut, morally charged exploration of resentment, guilt, and the darkness that can fester within even the most intimate human bonds.
