In the spirit of "Beetlejuice", "Alice in Wonderland", "Amelie", and "A Very Long Engagement" - with a bit of "Moulin Rouge" thrown in for good measure, "The Other Side" is a modern-day fairy tale that gives new meaning to the old notion: "Things aren't always what they seem." It's an otherworldly comedy carefully juxtaposing the touching and human with astonishing characters and irreverent humor which takes place in a world that's bizarre and twisted - replacing conventional metaphors with elements of the surreal.
