In A outra margem, Luís Filipe Rocha shows the adventure of individuals that society has relegated to the periphery, considering them as unfit or depravated. Ricardo, a homosexual transvestite, Vasco, his nephew who suffers from trisomy 21, Maria, single mother, and the transsexual Luís/Carla, represent a deviation from the norm (the heteronormative model, the productivist logic, the traditional morality). If the river separate, it is also on its banks that many encounters occur. "Marginalized" learn to know each other and to accept the otherness. One of the main bridges that will bring these different characters closer together is art, crucial for the (re)reconstruction of their identities.
