Don’t You Let Me Go (Agarrame fuerte), the most recent feature film by the celebrated Uruguayan directorial duo of Ana Guevara and Leticia Jorge (So Much Water), will have its world premiere in the International Narrative Competition at the 23rd edition of the Tribeca Festival, taking place June 5-16, 204 in New York City. 

The film tells the story of Adela, 39, who is confronted with the sudden loss of her best friend, Elena. Standing amidst the mourners at Elena’s funeral, Adela feels disconnected from the solemn rituals, sensing the absurdity of bidding farewell to someone so dear. Consumed by shock and the looming void in her future, Adela becomes an unexpected time traveler.

Transported to a decade earlier, Adela reunites with a vibrant Elena at a beach house, joined by their friend Luci and her baby boy Paco. Amidst the backdrop of laughter, music, and shared memories, the trio embarks on a weekend filled with joy and nostalgia. But as the inevitable goodbye approaches, Adela clings to the fleeting moments and the newfound sense of companionship.

When baby Paco stumbles upon a gateway to prolong their time together, Adela, Elena, and Luci are drawn into an extraordinary journey of escape and indulgence. In this timeless interlude, Adela discovers solace and a renewed connection to her cherished friend.

Starring Chiara Hourcade, Victoria Jorge, and Eva Dans.
