Evocative and lyrical, On Each Side follows the interconnected lives of several characters who are affected by the building of the Rosario-Victoria Bridge in Argentina - a gargantuan, modern undertaking that links two Argentinean cities. On Each Side is the story of a bridge that not only traverses a river but spans the traditional and the modern, the past and the future.
Cinematography

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The Rosario-Victoria Bridge was Argentina's longest cable-stayed bridge when completed in 2003; Grosso filmed during actual final construction phases.
The film belongs to Argentina's 'nuevo cine independiente' movement — micro-budget, location-driven, resisting Hollywood narrative catharsis. It barely screened outside festivals.
