The close relationship between two brothers is ripped apart during the 1936 Chinese civil war when they end up on opposite sides of the conflict in the action drama Brothers.

Once a poor vagrant, Chen Tiejin has risen through the ranks of the Red Army and is now a brave and experienced company commander.  During a dangerous rescue mission, Commander Tiejin and his Red Army troupe are locked in heated battle with the Kuomintang soldiers. Raising his weapon to deliver the final blow, he stops dead – the solider is none other than his brother he lost five years before, now working alongside the enemy. In a time of hardship and war, can brotherly love bridge the divide to find peace?

Directed by Kiefer Liu (Don Quixote) and starring Ethan Li (The Blue Cornflower), Peter Ho (The Monkey King) and Xia Zitcong (The Monkey King), the unrated Chinese film features a striking visual look, with black-and-white images interspersed with random flashes of color and pared-down CGI backgrounds.
