The Other Side of the Wall

An intimate documentary drama that follows a six-member family from Honduras who fled to Mexico in search of a better life. But everything goes wrong when the mother is arrested on dubious charges. They should be focusing on school, their love life, friends and typical teenage problems. Instead, 18-year-old Alejandro has become the family's breadwinner and 13-year-old Rocio the carer of their younger siblings. When the news comes that their mother will have to spend 10 years in prison, the tension between the older siblings increases. Their immigrant status also doesn't help, nor does the fact that Alejandro and his girlfriend are expecting a baby of their own. Will they have to return to Honduras without their mother or risk a visit to the United States, whose new presidential administration is hostile to immigrants from Mexico?
