Two Brothers begins with the meeting of two tigers in the jungle in South-East Asia. Mating in the ruins of a
Buddhist1 temple, two tiger
cubs2 are the result, each with very different
personalities3. One shy and gentle and the other bold and fierce.
Meanwhile in turn of the century England, tiger hunter and artefact collector Aidan McRory (Guy Pierce) is attempting to sell some of his latest African collection in
auction4. It doesn’t sell well, and when the following Asian collection brings in far more money, McRory makes a decision that will have far reaching implications.
Within time Aidan is leading an expedition to the very area where the tiger family is settled in order to
retrieve5 some of the Buddhist statues that inhabit the temple inhabited by the tigers. After their fathers death, the two young cubs are separated. The timid Kumal is eventually passed to a circus where he is trained to perform under the name of Kumal – The Blood Thirsty Tiger. The fearless Sangha becomes the pet of young boy Raoul (Freddie Highmore), the son of the regional
Administrator6. After a regretful incident with the family dog, who had
pestered7 him for so long, Sangha end up in the private zoo of His Excellency, an unspecified member of local
Royalty8.
The two brothers are
destined9 to meet again when they grow up. But this time, they are forced to
fight against each other as
ferocious10 opponents…
Luckily enough, the two brothers recognize each other and manage to escape from the circus. But are they really free? Will they make their journey home in the jungle?
The story ends with both Aidan and Raoul entwined in the two brothers’ fates…
在东南亚的丛林的古庙的废墟中，两只老虎在缠绵之后生下一对虎兄弟。而这两个小家伙的性格截然不同。一个胆小而温顺，另一个则胆大而凶猛。
