At her best friend’s wake, Adela’s grief sparks a surreal journey that challenges her understanding of memory and loss.
Amidst the solemn crowd at Elena’s wake, Adela retreats to her car, grappling with grief that contrasts with her late best friend’s vivacious personality. But this brief moment of solitude is disrupted by an unexpected bus journey to where Elena eagerly awaits. Laughter and tears accompany their bittersweet reunion that brings forth a spectrum of emotions.
Don’t You Let Me Go is a meditation on sisterhood and the persistence of love beyond death. Led by a strong female cast, the magic realist tale invites us into the heart of Adela’s emotional journey. This is a crisp portrayal of the lingering impacts of friendship, how to honour life while acknowledging loss, and the places of love that grief takes us to.
