Not part of a collection.
A brother is a friend by nature. But what happens when he becomes the enemy?
Two old fellow mobsters meet up at hideout to discuss their next job. They plunge into a conversation recollecting their past deeds together, which leads them into argument and rivalry, until one of them realizes something is quite wrong.

Very interesting story and great performances! I watched in a festival months ago and it really got me. I believe it could be a great deal to make it as a feature film or tv series for the story is complex and the characters are as well.

**We Brothers** is a quiet storm of a film: restrained, deliberate and ultimately devastating. Set almost entirely within a single location, the film thrives on tension built through dialogue and silence rather than action. What begins as a simple reunion between two mobsters evolves into a layered confrontation about loyalty, memory, and the weight of shared history. There is a theatrical quality to the performances, but it works in the film’s favor. The characters feel larger than life, yet deeply human, trapped between who they were and what they’ve become. The writing carefully peels back their past, allowing the audience to sense that something is off before it is revealed. Visually, We Brothers embraces minimalism. The confined setting enhances the psychological pressure, turning the space into something almost suffocating. Every pause carries meaning. Rather than relying on spectacle, the film chooses introspection.

Translated to English: Personally invited by director Renata Jones to the much anticipated premiere of We, Brothers, I entered the theater not sure what to expect and left me really really impressed! The 30-minute short delivers a rare aesthetic experience in contemporary Brazilian cinema, blending noir atmosphere, psychological tension, and visual elegance with striking precision. One of the film’s most memorable moments comes with a mention of Veronica Lake, the iconic 40s Hollywood actress! Far from a casual reference, the mention serves as a thematic key to the entire work because Jones isn’t merely telling a story about two brothers, she’s channeling the spirit of classic cinema, embedding it into the DNA of a deeply modern tale! We, Brothers stands as a stylish and tightly crafted piece that lingers in the mind long after the screen fades to black. Congratuations to the team and actors!

One of the most striking aspects of We, Brothers for me is its setting, a beautifully preserved 30s house that becomes a character in itself. Every corner, every shadow feels alive with history. The production design leans heavily into this space, creating an atmosphere that instantly transports you to a noir inspired world! The cinematography is rich and moody, playing masterfully with light and shadow. The use of deep contrast and close, intimate framing enhances the tension between the characters, while the warm vintage tones evoke a sense of both nostalgia and danger. Together, the location, art direction, and visual style elevate the film far beyond what you’d expect from a short film. It feels like a time capsule! A lost reel from classic cinema rediscovered.

I was invited by the director Renata Jones to the premiere of We, Brothers, and I must admit I didn’t know what to expect. But I was very surprised. The film draws you in from the very first scene with its noir tone and vintage atmosphere. The cast delivers great performances, especially the two at the center of the story, who create a believable bond full of tension and unspoken emotion. Visually, it’s impressive and it feels like stepping into a 1940s gangster film, yet there’s a distinctly modern, Brazilian soul behind it all. It’s short but very stylish and it left me wanting more. A bold piece of cinema. Hats off to the director and the crew for pulling this off with such finesse. 10/10

**What an incredible cast!** The cast of _We, Brothers_ delivers strong and emotionally layered performances. Pedro Wagner and Paulo Pagliossa shine as the central brothers, balancing loyalty and tension with subtle nuance. Mickael Kornblum brings depth to a key supporting role, while Gabby Ballhausen adds intensity and emotional weight to the story. Pietra Cezimbra, Victor Grimoni, Felipe Bandeira and Orlando Rodrigues offer memorable presences that complement the ensemble. Together, the actors create believable chemistry that drives the film’s noir-inspired atmosphere, making this Brazilian short a standout for its authenticity and strong performances.
