About this Movie
The Other Side
After waking up chained to a hospital bed, Carlos Framb (Julián Román) learns he's been accused of murdering his 82-year-old mother Luzmila (Vicky Hernández), a much-adored, devoutly religious woman with several debilitating medical conditions. Having also attempted to kill himself in a final act of mercy, Framb must defend himself in court, transforming from beloved literature professor to loathed convict overnight. Inspired by the astonishing true story and book by Colombian poet Carlos Framb, The Other Side (Del Otro Lado del Jardín) is a thought-provoking and resonant courtroom drama that raises questions about the morality of assisted suicide through the story of one man's bid to save his beloved mother from further suffering.
