Brother Jakob

Germany2016documentary92'Fokus na Niemcy (2017)

In this very intimate portrait the director attempts to understand the decision of his brother who, having read the Koran a few years earlier, decided to convert to Islam and entirely change his life. Jacob cut himself off from his old friends, gave up the pleasures enjoyed so far and turned himself to God. The film is an opportunity for the director to re-establish the lost brotherly bond and goes far beyond exclusively religious reflections.
