ABOUT THE FILM:
Directed BY Lilian T. Mehrel | USA/Portugal | 75 min
Lela and her daughter June head to the Azores to mark one year since losing the man who used to hold their whole family together, and immediately disagree on everything about how to do it. How to grieve. What to wear. Whether the hot, philosophical tour guide is a distraction or exactly what they need. Grief gets funny before it gets healing, and Honeyjoon knows that better than almost anything we've seen this year.
Written and directed by Miami native Lilian T. Mehrel in her debut feature, funded through Tribeca's $1 million Untold Stories Award, this is a mother-daughter story that refuses to pick a lane, laughter into grief into something that actually looks like healing. One of our own, telling a story this good.
Honeyjoon Awards: HONEYJOON premiered at Tribeca and 50 festivals, won the Tribeca AT&T Untold Stories Award for $1million, and multiple audience and jury awards for Best Feature.
