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.
