At the center of Minnesota is the intense relationship between two brothers, fellow hockey players, which spills into dysfunctionality. The two are stars of the local minor league team in a provincial Russian town, and appear to be very close. Yet their personalities could not be more different. The older brother, Mikhail, is fond of the bottle, freely goes back and forth between his wife and mistress, and is physically aggressive in his cruel teasing of his younger brother, Igor’, who overall comes across as essentially an earnest idealist. Igor’ is approached by a scout with an invitation to play for a team in the US (hence the title), yet the offer is extended to him alone. He is torn by the idea of being separated from his brother and initially insists the two of them be transferred together. However, Mikhail’s impulsive behavior continues to sabotage every opportunity for the two to shine together on ice in front of the scout. Mikhail also habitually chips away at his younger brother’s self-esteem, repeatedly referring to him by a feminizing nickname, “Chepchik” (‘bonnet’), and bluntly asserting, “Without me, you are nothing.” Yet all this abuse is not part of some Machiavellian plan—it is just a twisted mess of affection, rivalry, and jealousy.
