"In The Arms Of My Enemy" is a powerfully intimate film by Micha Wald of Belgium.
It's set in Eastern Europe in the mid-nineteenth century. It's the world of peasantry, or Cossacks, of horse thieves. A world in which loyalty and family ties represent survival.
The story is one of two pairs of brothers. How their random encounter, how tribalism, how vandalism, how the very will to survive clash like sabers in a barren forest. And how only the will to renounce and break free from all of these forces can bring change.
It's a powerful, austere, tender, and in many ways understated film. Time well spent.
