View the trailer for Side by Side on the Hot Docs YouTube channel
In the arresting rural environs of the western part of Danish Jutland, a feud has been raging between two neighbours who have not spoken in 15 years. Two giant hedges separate their properties. Mr. Frost, a senior, lives on one side with his handicapped wife. On the other side lives Mr. Jepsen, a middle-aged man and father of three. Director Christian Sønderby Jepsen, one of Jepsen's sons, sets out to uncover the source of the animosity between the two warring men. Set against stormy skies, a series of visually striking and cleverly composed interviews with both families offers a humorous take on the melodrama. Will the truth emerge? Can the two men let bygones be bygones? Shannon Abel.
