About Her Brother (original Japanese title : Otouto) tells the story of a never-do-well younger brother and his generous, open-hearted elder sister. The brother is the type who can never stay still and loves fooling around admiring the comedians and entertainers of Osaka, while the sister is strait-laced and lives in Tokyo. There is a reason the sister does not discard her younger brother: the death of her husband has left her despondent, and it is his bright cheer that saves her and sets her back on her feet. For her he can do nothing wrong, and since she is always on his side, she is his port in any storm. But an incident occurs which makes her break relations with him, sending him into deep despai Long time pass. When they finally reunite, the sister discovers that the brother is terminally ill.
