About El Otro Lado
Vanessa is a trans girl who decides to run away from home to go with her boyfriend and cross together the border to reach the United States. They will live in their own flesh the fortunes and dangers of the desert that thousands of migrants have to face every day to get their dreams, to reach the other side.
Directed by Fernando Joab Luna, El Otro Lado leans on a strong ensemble — Leonardo Alonso, Manuel Villegas, Jeovanni Sanchez — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 2022.
