Two handsome twenty-something Colombian brothers raised in Stockholm, Sweden, by their fiercely independent and emotional single mother couldn’t be more different. Pablo is an ambitious, driven and responsible medical student living in Colombia, while Fernando spends his time back in Stockholm roaming the suburbs with his pit bull and partying with friends. The two are reunited when Pablo convinces Fernando to confront his alcoholism and come and live with him in Colombia. Pablo is determined to get his brother sober and on the right track with love and discipline. Will their relationship survive? Colombianos is a rich and beautiful piece of dramatic storytelling about the love between two brothers, their struggle for a better life and the turbulent relationship that threatens to break apart their family.
