As he is looking for clues about his missing brother Pietschi, Gregor immerses deeper and deeper into his life. Until eventually Gregor wears his clothes, listens to his music and sleeps with Pietschi’s ex girlfriend. Finally Gregor threatens to lose himself ... The film is telling the story of an identity and its overthrow. Not through logical consequences or many words, but through pictures and atmosphere.
"Would blue still be blue, if red did not exist? Would we still be calling it blue? In a profound way MY BROTHER’S KEEPER is asking questions about one’s own identity: Who am I? Who am I not?... MY BROTHER’S KEEPER shows this relaunch of one’s own personality in a movie. It is not about logical consequences or many words. It is all about pictures and atmosphere." (Maximilian Leo)
