Besieged

Besieged follows the lives of Yang and Victor, Chinese half-brothers who have been in competition with each other their entire lives. Yang, an aspiring actor, auditions for a prestigious film role, only to realize that his younger brother Victor, a violin prodigy, is auditioning for the same role as well. In a vicious effort to win the role, Yang stealthily sabotages his brother throughout the audition process. Unbeknownst to Yang, Victor is tired of carrying the burden of being a prodigy and longs to escape the expectations of their father and the pressure of performing. Besieged vividly depicts the darkness of jealousy threaded within sibling rivalry.
