synopsis

Robin is a musician who discovers a vintage turntable hidden in his cluttered apartment.

By uncovering the hidden past of his parents and confronting his own trauma, Robin embarks on a profound journey of self-discovery.

This narrative holds deep significance for me because it highlights the powerful influence of our past in shaping our present and future.

It demonstrates that true change requires an understanding and acceptance of our personal history.

Turntable serves as a mirror, reflecting our own hidden truths and the difficult decisions that define our identities. It is an invitation to look back in order to move forward with courage and honesty.‍

Set in Texas across three fragmented timelines, The Other Side is a nonlinear time-travel thriller told through the interwoven perspectives of David, a nostalgic dreamer; Fred, his dangerously ambitious friend; and Robin, David’s son summoned through time to complete his father’s mission.—In The Turntable, a dimly lit blues bar tucked beneath an aging apartment somewhere in Texas, David and Fred toast to friendship. They live above the bar, broke but bound by dreams and a shared history. Unlike David, Fred is ready to move on. Their landlord, Antoinette, announces she’s closing the bar. She shows David a dear old “magical” record player. She’s half-joking, but it stirs something in him.Fred reactivates a connection with Mustache, a crime boss from his past, who proposes him a new job: a high-stakes heist to steal a record player rumored to manipulate time. Fred pulls David in. Marie, the operation’s strategist, joins the team. Mustache leaves them with one clue—a mysterious vinyl disc.That night, David places the disc on Antoinette’s turntable—and time slips. He finds himself decades earlier, facing a younger Antoinette who explains the device’s true nature. Back in the present, David realizes: the real turntable never left the bar. The heist is a hoax.David confesses to Antoinette, confirming he’s the man she once met in her past. She always knew—but now, she trusts him. David buys the bar with his remaining savings and begins to pull away from both the plan and from Fred.
