兄弟禁斷之愛。哥哥哈瑞是前男孩樂隊成員,看着16歲的弟弟馬克在他之後成為青年偶象。這個冬天,本來打算去日本的他繞路陪伴馬克帳篷旅行。但起初充滿歡樂和兄弟情誼的旅行卻很快冷卻下來,他們之間的問題重新浮出水面,無法忽視,迫使他們面對那傷痕纍纍的過去:哈瑞酗酒的毛病,他對家庭的疏離,還有他與馬克的曖昧關係。這些,在他們成長的歲月中,如影隨形;兩人的感情,也始終尋不到確切的出口。
這是一部耐看的作品。有點像小品,有點像實驗電影,乍看之下樸實無華,仔細看了,卻是此中有深意。兩兄弟有個自私又貪財的母親,只有彼此可以依靠。一起成長,積累回憶,情不自禁成為彼此最在意的人。雖然不是那種伴侶,或者,他們那樣才是終身伴侶吧。然而,無關哥哥的酗酒,還有他們的家庭困境,他們只是無法純粹地在一起。每個人都有DarkSide的部分,只有最親近的人,才會讓他見到自己最不堪的一面吧。親情,友情,愛情,界限又在哪裡呢?
「反觀我們一起成長的那段人生里
大多數人想有個一個像Harry這樣的哥哥
但我們無法控制
相互吸引」
