Se supone que un hermano mayor debe cuidar de los pequeños, pero ¿qué ocurre cuando es el hermano mayor quien necesita atención especial? Debido a unas complicaciones durante el parto, Philippe tiene una discapacidad psíquica que le impide ser como los demás, una «enfermedad que no se cura», tal como le explican sus padres a Anne cuando apenas tiene siete años. Escrita en breves episodios y dirigida a Philippe como una larga carta, esta emotiva narración evoca los recuerdos de la infancia y las huellas que esa relación dejó en la vida de Anne: una tierna lección de amor y tolerancia.

English Translation

My Brother's Laughter

An older brother is supposed to look after the little ones, but what happens when the older brother is the one who needs special care? Because of complications at birth, Philippe lives with an intellectual disability, an "illness that cannot be cured," as Anne's parents explain to her when she is barely seven. Told in brief episodes and addressed to Philippe like one long letter, this moving narrative gathers memories of childhood and traces how her brother's shadow shaped Anne's own life. Full of feeling yet never sentimental, it is a tender lesson in love and tolerance.
