520    "Older Brother is the poignant story of a Franco-Syrian 
       family whose father and two sons try to integrate 
       themselves into a society that doesn't offer them many 
       opportunities. The father, an atheist communist who moved 
       from Syria to France for his studies and stayed for love, 
       has worked for decades driving a taxi to support his 
       family. The eldest son is a driver for an app-based car 
       service, which comically puts him at odds with his father,
       whose very livelihood is threatened by this new generation
       of disruptors. The younger son, shy and serious, works as 
       a nurse in a French hospital. Jaded by the regular 
       rejections he encounters in French society, he decides to 
       join a Muslim humanitarian organization to help wounded 
       civilians in the war in Syria. But when he stops sending 
       news home, the silence begins to eat away at his father 
       and brother who wonder what his real motivations were. 
       When younger brother returns home, he has changed. Guven 
       alternates between an ironic take on contemporary society 
       and the gravity of terrorist threats. He explores with 
       equal poignancy the lives of "Uberized" workers and actors
       in the global jihad"--Amazon.com.
