Writer/director Gustavo Loza?s visually stimulating, hauntingly timely film punctures the surface of immigration with a distinctive and unconventional storytelling style.

Told from the compelling viewpoint of those left behind, On the Other Side looks at their desire to find their father and bring him back home.
