What happens

The Other Side of November (French: L'autre côté de novembre) is a 2016 Quebec feature film produced, written and directed by Maryanne Zéhil. The cast includes Arsinée Khanjian, Pascale Bussières, Marc Labrèche, Raïa Haïdar, Béatrice Moukhaiber and an array of Lebanese actors and actresses. The film is a drama dealing with disappearing memory, choices that transform one’s destiny, and how societies shape people by offering them lives that are diametrically opposed to ones they could have lived elsewhere.
