Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Brotherhood is a 2018 short film (25 minutes) from Tunisia, directed by Meryam Joobeur.The setting is coastal Tunisia. A family—father Mohammad, mother Salha, early-teens son Chaker and youngest son Rayene—are herders with a home in walking distance of the beach. One day Mohammad and Chaker return from being out with the flock, and find the eldest son Malek at home. Malek, it seems, left the family some time ago to join ISIS and fight in Syria. The prodigal son has returned, along with a pregnant 14-year-old wife named Reem.While his mother and brothers greet Malek with open arms, Mohammad can't forgive. Malek makes tentative gestures at reconciliation but Mohammad rejects them. He seems particularly put out by the presence of Reem, who wears the full-body niqab. Eventually Mohammad makes a terrible decision.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Not to be confused with the third installment of the Hood Trilogy.

Downer Ending: Mohammad realizes his misjudgment of his son too late, after having called the cops (as an ISIS fighter Malik is subject to arrest). He dashes back home just as Malik is being taken away.

Middle Eastern Terrorists: Malek is a repentant one, having come back home after leaving to fight for ISIS. Mohammad can't forgive him.

Child by Rape: As Reem confesses at the end, the baby isn't Malek's. She was a sex slave to some ISIS fighters, and he rescued her as he was fleeing Syria himself.

Hypocrite: When Mohammad gets all self-righteous about Malek coming home with a 14-year-old pregnant bride, Salha points out that she was only fifteen when they got married.
