The Brother from Another Planet

  • Log in or register to post comments

In a New York City pulsing with the diversity of its inhabitants, an alien arrives on Earth, but not in the typical way you might imagine. This being, resembling an African American man, escapes from a planet where his psychic abilities allow him to teleport and manipulate objects with his mind. However, in the bustling urban environment, he becomes a complete outsider, navigating everyday life without fully understanding the social norms.

Without a language to communicate and with powers he doesn't know how to control, he becomes an endearing character as he tries to make friends and discover his place in this strange world. At the same time, two alien bounty hunters arrive on Earth to locate him, adding an air of tension to his accidental adventure. As the protagonist forges friendships with unusual characters, from a group of street musicians to a factory worker, he learns about the struggle for identity and acceptance.

Through comedic and dramatic situations, the story tackles themes of race, discrimination, and the search for belonging, all wrapped in a cloak of science fiction that provokes thought. With its unique style and a touch of social satire, this film offers a sincere and poignant look at the human condition, leading us to question the barriers that divide us and what it truly means to be different.
