Summary:Told through a nonlinear narrative, "Almost Brothers" (Quase Dois Irmaos) concerns the bond two men share over five decades against the backdrop of Brazil roiled by political and social change. In 1957, two young boys meet through their fathers' shared love of samba. Miguel (Brunno Abrahao), the son of a white musicologist, is from a middleclass neighborhood. Jorge (Pablo Ricardo Belo), the son of a black samba musician, is from a favela (hillside shantytown). They become friends, then drift apart as boys of different social classes are wont to do, only to be reunited a dozen years later in prison. [www.dvdtalk.com]
