Dos hermanos de origen egipcio, el sensible y estudioso Mo, y su hermano mayor Rashid, boxeador envuelto en trapicheos y peleas, viven en Hackney. Mo admira a su hermano mayor, y quiere seguir su camino. Pero Rashid no lo ve claro, no sólo por las pocas dotes para el crimen de Mo, sino por sus posibilidades de acceder a algo mejor. Una conocida historia que da un giro inesperado cuando Rashid vive un segundo despertar sexual insospechado. Mo is a young boy growing up in a traditional Egyptian household, but beyond the front door of the family's modest London flat is a completely different world - the streets of Hackney. The impressionable Mo idolizes his handsome older brother Rashid and wants to follow is his footsteps. However, Rashid, a charismatic and shrewd member of a local gang, wants a different life for his little brother and deals drugs hoping to put Mo through college. One eventful summer, Rashid's sexual awakening forces Mo to confront his own fears and phobias and threatens to tear the brothers apart. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- RATINGS: IMDB: 6.2 METASCORE: 72/100 FILMAFFINITY: 6.5 ROTTENTOMATOES: TOMATOMETER: 91% AUDIENCE: 79% ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PREMIOS: 2012: Festival de Sundance: Mejor fotografía internacional 8 wins & 12 nominations.
