Onii~Brother~trailer Japan documentary shortmovie「おにい」短編ドキュメンタリー映画(Japan 2022)
“Muscular Dystrophy”, an intractable disease that causes progressive muscular weakness and necroses.
The number of patients living with it in Japan: about 25,400
This is a documentary of a woman to interview her older brother living with it.

She asks him, “Do you not get pessimistic or despair?
Have you ever thought about committing suicide?” Questions she poses get sharper and more vivid for her being his own sister.
Meanwhile, he may some of the time mention his physical agonies but does not make any remark of pessimism around his life.
He talks on rather nonchalantly, “Your disease can’t be an excuse; just being alive is a bliss…”
As this interview moves on, however, he starts to speak out…. Seriously.

He says he is an in-between of a handicapped person and healthy, with pressure of “looking normal”.

“Bro” lives his own life, despite all the difficulties; his willpower to live is too straightforward and strong to be rebuffed.

In 2022. She “faces it”, after passing eight years have brought various changes to her, anew: a brushed-up work where she is NOT allowed to change, add or edit its contents, with just a perfect-package medium and no way back, one of the biggest challenges, ever, in her life.
Things she wouldn’t dare talk of and what he is now are added to complete recording of a journey, which may or may not continue permanently…
한국어
근육이 감소·괴사해 가는 지정 난치병
일본의 환자 수는 약 25,400명
환자인 오빠를 동생이 취재한 다큐멘터리.

여동생은 오빠에게 묻는다 비관할 것 없어?절망은 없어? 자살을 생각해본 적은?
친지이기 때문에 더욱 날카롭게 인터뷰 한다.
형은 신체의 고통을 호소하기는 해도 인생을 비관한 듯한 발언은 일절 없다.
병을 핑계 삼지 않겠다 살아 있는 것만으로 떼돈을 벌겠다고 환하게 말하지만.

취재를 거듭하는 동안에 속마음을 이야기하기 시작했다

"인생은 어려워"
장애인과 정상인 사이에 있는 '어중간함'
생김새가 '보통'이라는 부담감

그래도 형은 외곬으로 산다.
그가 살려는 힘은 곧고 너무 강했다.

2022년. 8년이라는 세월은 다양한 변화를 가져왔고 여동생은 새로운 마음으로 작품을 마주했다.
촬영 소재·편집 데이터 삭제, 추촬 불가능, 있는 것은 완전 패킷 1개뿐이라고 하는 곤경이면서도 재검토된 작품.
당시는 말하지 못했던 여동생의 마음, 그리고 오빠의 현재가 추록되면서 비로소 완결이 난다.
