Brother’s Nest is a new tragic-comedy that reunites the Jacobson Brothers 11 years after their breakthrough box-office smash hit comedy Kenny – albeit a very different animal.
On a cold morning in the middle of country Victoria, two brothers arrive at the family home intent on murdering their step-father Roger. Terry and Jeff’s motive is simple, killing their step-dad will render their dying Mother’s plan to change her will in his favour, redundant.
A staged “suicide” has been meticulously planned but there is one thing the boys didn’t take into account, spending an entire day together. Old grudges, different worldviews and a general troubled history will pit these two brothers against each other.
Brothers’ Nest is a tragic comedy about family, loyalty and murder – cos after all “blood is thicker than water.”
