Bruder Jakob

He liked the cheerful company and relaxed evenings. That changed in September 2009, when during a trip through the Moroccan mountains German youngster Jakob read the Koran. He says that upon reading the book he realised that he was a Muslim and converted to Islam. Friends and family watch incredulously as Jakob transforms before their eyes into an orthodox adherent of Allah. Jakob's brother and documentary film maker Roland watches Jakob's journey of alienation from both his family and himself from a sensitive perspective. The camera captures intimate family moments, including the tense scene when Jakob introduces his family to his Muslim wife, who is shrouded in a black chador. Will the brothers, despite their fundamentally different approaches to life, again find common ground? (One World)
