Bro gotta go

Director Stella Traub accompanies her younger brother during the final four weeks before he leaves their family village. The boy plans to move to Berlin to complete high school and begin university, leaving behind his everyday life. The camera follows his last days with friends. Through this journey, the director reflects on her own path, questioning whether she has ever truly reached her goals and exploring how one can break free from a difficult environment, challenging roles and stereotypes tied to social background. This is a subtle and contemplative story about growing up, responsibility, and the search for one’s place in the world.
