DVD Mini Review - Al Otro Lado: To the Other Side
Director Gustavo Loza's film is a lovely and sad trilogy in one film that deals with children searching for their father.
The first story takes place in Mexico. Prisciliano's (Adrian Alonso) father has to go to the US in order to make a living for his family. Prisciliano does not understand and attempts to go to his father.
The second story takes place in Cuba. Angel (Jorge Milo) does not remember much about his father but he has heard a lot about him. He, too, tries to go to his father.
Lastly, Fatimah (Nuria Badih) lives in Morocco. She has a picture of her father but that is not enough for her. Her mother explains that her father is in Spain working so that he can send back enough money for the family to live on. And, yes, Fatimah also tries to go to her father.
Which one, if any, will succeed? You will have to see this beautiful little film to find out. Each story is sad but one of them is the saddest. The film shows just how much of an effect a parent has on a child even if he/she is not there. Loza does a wonderful job of directing these young actors and the adults are also good. The terrific Carmen Maura has a small role in the last story.
I highly recommend this film to those who love good world cinema and stories that are real.
