Al otro lado

"Tres países, tres culturas tres realidades distintas que nos sirven de escenario para adentrarnos en la vida de tres niños (uno Mexicano, uno Cubano y una niña Marroqui) que comparten el mismo sentimiento, la ausencia de un ser querido y la necesidad de traerlo de vuelta a casa. Es una historia que aborda la problemática de la migración pero desde la óptica de los que se quedan."--Container. "Three countries, three cultures, three distinct realities introduce us to the lives of three children (one Mexican, one Cuban and one little Moroccan girl) that all share the same sentiment, having to deal with the absence of a loved one and the need to bring him back home. This is a very tender hearted way of looking at migration from the perspective of the little ones left behind."--Container.
