In 2010, rock band The National were about to embark on the biggest tour of their career. After 10 years as a band, and five critically acclaimed albums, they were finally enjoying wider recognition. Lead singer Matt Berninger invited his younger brother Tom to join the tour's crew. A budding horror filmmaker, Tom, who is nine years younger than Matt and listens exclusively to heavy metal, decided to bring his camera along. Tom's all at sea in the world of indie rock, and living in his brother's shadow brings out the younger sibling in him - he drinks, complains, and struggles to balance his ambition with his tour responsibilities. The result is a truly hilarious and touching film about brothers and about making something of your own. (From the US) (Documentary) (Rpt) M(L)
