He's My Brother

Cille Hannibal, Denmark, 2021

75 min.DK/Documentary

Most people have five senses. Peter only has three, having lost both his sight and
hearing as a newborn. His family must see and hear the world for him.
Today, Peter is 29. His needs are so special that he lives with his parents. When his
mother, Jonna, was diagnosed with cancer four years ago, a bigger thought process
was set in motion: what will happen to her 29-year old boy, blind and deaf since birth,
when she is no longer here? The help provided from the public services is not sufficient,
and so it is down to Jonna, Peter’s father Jørgen and his sister Christine to manage their
challenging day-to-day life alone.
