Tord Danielsson & Oskar Mellander met in 2012 while working on the writing of an eight-episode horror series for the Swedish channel TV6. They subsequently write and direct numerous films for television. They share a love for stories with a highly visual narrative that differs from the realistic approach of many Swedish films. The Other Side, inspired by real life facts, is their first feature film.

Synopsis :
Shirin, a beginner in her role as a mother-in-law, moves into a semi-detached house with her partner Fredrik and her son Lucas. This new home seems to her the ideal place to start a family. But when Fredrik goes away on business, Shirin hears strange noises emanating from the other half of the lodge as Lucas makes a new friend.
