To the Other Side is a road movie situated on the Afsluitdijk (The Closure Dike, a 32km long causeway damming off the fresh water of the IJsselmeer from the salt water of the North Sea). As the filmmaker hitches rides with travelers along the causeway, she asks the questions 'where do you come from?' and 'where are you going?', which lead to conversations about dreams and longings of people on the road. The Dutch Afsluitdijk becomes a magical place, without beginning or end, never a destination on it's own, and thus the ideal place to reflect upon life. Is our path ever as straight as the dike itself?
