The Other Side

Overview

Samir, a young man turned lawyer, returns to his family to attend the coming-of-age feast of his little brother. He finds his mother and father confronted with administrative problems and ordinary racism. His other brother, a deadbeat in his parent's eyes, is Malek. Malek still hangs out with his friends in their hometown where nothing has really changed. What comes along is tenderness, love, tension, a deep history, and the pain of growing up to see your family in a different light.
