Brother Verses Brother

This then is a song.

2025 · 91 min · Family, Music, Drama

The twin sons of SF novelist Herbert Gold, filmmaker Ari and musician Ethan collaborate on this 'live cinema' musical drama, 'featuring The Brothers Gold and the People of San Francisco'. It begins with one extroverted brother running late to join his introverted counterpart for an audition of sorts at Vesuvio’s, across Jack Kerouac Alley from City Lights Bookstore. Soon accompanied by a third singer (Lara Louise), these quarrelsome siblings move on to a couple of equally famed local watering holes. They clomp up Telegraph Hill, engage in minor social intrigue, then finally visit Dad on Russian Hill.

Omer and Carine move restlessly from place to place and keep their heads above water with tournaments at the pool table. Both are on the run from their past: Omer as an African refugee, Frenchwoman Carine as an ex-junkie who was in danger of sinking into the drug scene. Now the couple have ended up in Berlin, where Omer senses a big coup: he wants to challenge the notorious billiards player Sultan to a tournament. With the winnings from this match, he and Carine could finally move on and perhaps even fulfill Carine's dream of opening a beach bar. But things turn out differently, because the shady Sultan has also devised a plan to pull the wool over Omer's eyes.
