Her Brother 1960

Adapted from the autobiographical novel by Aya Koda, this film explores a complicated family triangle composed by a brutally uncaring father, a sober and protective elder sister, Gen (from whose viewpoint we see the story), and a wild and over-indulged younger brother, Hekirou. Gen (Tanaka Kinuyo) must grow in her understanding and independence as she negotiates the shoals created by these men.
