My Brother Is a Control Freak

About this drama

Seven hundred nine characters, and the copy states a complete family drama about control and letting go, non-romantic. After their parents passed away, nineteen-year-old Lucas raised his seventeen-year-old brother Noah alone. Lucas is extremely controlling out of deep insecurity, fearing Noah will leave him once he grows independent, so he restricts Noah's social life, monitors his every move, and even sabotages his friendships and basketball activities. Noah struggles between gratitude for his brother's sacrifices and suffocation under the tight control. The stated escalations, a series of conflicts, car accidents and separations, push Lucas to confront his twisted attachment. After Noah leaves for college, Lucas learns to let go, and the two finally reach a gentle reconciliation, acknowledging their intertwined love without suffocating bondage. The copy states both brothers' ages, nineteen and seventeen, which makes the control a parenting failure born of fear rather than malice. The copy lists the control's instruments, restricted social life, monitored movements, sabotaged friendships and blocked basketball, each one stated plainly. The word suffocation is the copy's own, and it is set directly against the word gratitude. Withheld: the details of the car accident and which separation finally breaks the pattern. Thirty-one episodes, complete, 1,781 views.
