The Other Side
A young drag queen loses the will to live and to perform after the suicide of his lover. Under the influence of his sister whom he hasn’t seen for a long time, he resignedly returns to his sunny home-town of Porto. There he meets his ex-fiancée, estranged father and finally his nephew who suffers from Down syndrome, yet has an incredible and spreading joy from life and a determined ambition to become a theatre actor. A beautiful film about hope, reconciliation and overcoming obstacles with great actors’ performances, precise dialogues on the border of tragic and gentle humor and beauty of images and music..
