Brothers

Based on a true story, BROTHERS tells one of the greatest stories of the Cold War, centering on resistance fighters and brothers Josef (Oskar Hes) and Ctirad Mašín (Jan Nedbal).

In 1953, the Mašín family becomes the target of persecution in communist-ruled Czechoslovakia. The brothers believe that, following the example of their father, a hero of the anti-Nazi resistance, the only way to fight the oppression is with organized resistance. The brothers form an underground army that is responsible for a series of violent acts leading to an investigation by State Security Captain Koller (Stefan Konarske). The Mašín brothers become the most wanted men in the country. They attempt to escape to West Berlin to join the US army to liberate Czechoslovakia. Yet, Captain Koller has not given up and mobilizes a military operation, the size of which has not been seen since World War II. This results in one of the largest manhunts in modern history.

BROTHERS won the prestigious Czech Lion Award for Best Feature Film and represented the Czech Republic for the 2024 Oscars.
