Director Jim McBride's "liberated" English girlfriend talks candidly about her life and her reasons for marrying another man. The awkward city hall ceremony and aftermath are also photographed.

A sequel to My Girlfriend's Wedding. Pictures from Life’s Other Side focuses almost entirely on a later cross-country trip, this one also including Clarissa’s illegitimate, preadolescent son Joe and a couple of dogs, with Clarissa and Joe taking over the commentary and the whole family trading off various sound and camera duties.
