Brain Brothers
In a Budapest care home, two inseparable friends, both named Zoltán, train for the Cybathlon: a global race where quadriplegic pilots control avatars with brain signals alone. Working with Hungarian neuroscientists toward the 2028 finals in Singapore, their messy, funny, and painful daily lives collide with cutting-edge technology. A character-driven science film about friendship, focus, resistance, and what the mind can still do when the body no longer obeys.
