This is the first feature film made by the director. The Moscow Film Festival is also the first event of its kind for the young Venezuelan. “Brothers” is a simple story about two young footballers from the slums of Venezuela who dream of becoming professional players. The film is about “how beautiful and important it is to have a dream,” Rasquin explained.

A total of 17 movies entered the main competition. Five Silver George prizes were distributed in other categories. The special jury prize went to “The Albanian,” a film by director Johannes Naber (Germany, Albania). The Silver George for best actor was given to Nik Xhelilaj for his role in “The Albanian.” Polish Jan Kidawa-Blonski was named the best director for “Little Rose.” And Vilma Cibulkova of the Czech Republic was chosen as best actress for her role in “An Earthy Paradise for the Eyes.”

The special prize for outstanding contribution to world cinema was handed over to French legend Claude Lelouch earlier, during the festival’s opening. And the special prize for outstanding lifetime achievement as an actor and for devotion to the principles of Konstantin Stanislavsky's school went to Emmanuelle Beart of France.
