Brother’s
Keeper explores the lives of identical twins - Chidi and Chude (performed by
Majid Michael). They are opposite of each other. One is loving, honest, prudent
and innovative while the other is not.
The movie opens with a tough-looking
guy cocking a gun, followed by a scene showing Mrs. Mena Nwakwo (Omoni Oboli) and her husband in their palatial
home.
In
summary, Chidi eliminates his twin brother; Chude not only takes over Chude’s
wife, son, wealth, their father’s company but deceives everyone by living as if
he is Chude.
From
time to time, his caring mother, Mrs. Nwankwo (Barbara Soky) keeps wondering
why he is behaving weirdly and not even mourning his twin brother.
As
one is watching the movie, one will keep asking him or herself: “Is it possible
for a mother not to recognize her twin children?”
A
day of reckoning surfaces after eliminating Cassandra Okoro, his supposed late
twin brother’s fiancée, his wife reveals to him that she is pregnant. One thing
leads to another; he makes a revealing confession that shook the foundation of
their marriage, family and lives.

their middle but Brother’s Keeper is full of intrigues and suspense. So it is
difficult for anyone to predict its concluding part as it unravels different
scenes and actions that keeps its viewers at the edge of their seats till end
of the movie.

cast and crew did a thorough job and this movie stands to win both local and
international awards due to its content, theme and beautiful performance by its

flick know their onions.
