Luxembourg, Luxembourg

In a quiet corner of Eastern Europe, two adult brothers are pulled apart by the same stubborn thread of their past. Kolya, a modest minibus driver nursing a chronic backache, still clings to the memory of his father as a distant hero. His twin, Vasya, now a police officer with a young family, has learned to view that same man through a haze of disappointment and unreliability. When a terse call from the Luxembourg consulate informs them that their long‑absent father is gravely ill, the brothers find the fragile balance of their lives suddenly tipped.

The contrast between the brothers is as sharp as the streets they navigate daily. Kolya’s world is shaped by routine routes, a supportive mother who urges him to let the past die with their father, and a yearning for a connection that feels both overdue and impossible. Vasya’s existence is ordered by duty, a marriage that demands stability, and a pragmatic view that the father’s remaining time is best left untouched. Their mother’s disapproval and the lingering weight of their father’s criminal reputation add further strain, setting the stage for a clash of longing, resentment, and responsibility.

Both men are compelled, for very different reasons, to embark on a journey far from home. The prospect of traveling to Luxembourg drapes their ordinary lives with a faint, uneasy excitement, promising answers that may reshape their understanding of family and identity. As they pack their bags, the road ahead becomes a road inward, where humor, tension, and the melancholy of unfinished business mingle, inviting viewers to wonder whether the trip will bridge the chasm between them or simply amplify the distance that has long defined their relationship.
