This centers on the two main characters, one a flawed no-goodnik who uses his athlete half-brother's sudden blindness to scam his way into compassionate parole from prison. He returns home to find his judo champion sibling curled up, malnourished, apathetic and smelly.
And he complains, a full-fledged turd muttering and hissing his disgust. But old habits die hard and he sets out to scam again.
How the two estranged brothers reconnect and heal is the point here and both actors portray their characters beautifully. The mutual muttered profanity and insults, the goading and impatience seems to snap the younger blind judo wrestler out of his funk and is hilarious. His older brother comes to terms with his past choices to leave the family and makes a remarkable decision to help his brother return to competitive sport.
I cried a lot in the last half hour. It was a wonderful, simple story played with finesse by both actors. Highly recommend.
