Overview
"LET'S GO KILL YOUR FATHER is a dark comedy and drama centered around a mother-daughter road trip that explores the complicated gravity of grief and guilt. Sprinkled with comedic levity, the film's emotional arc is tethered between the creation of one life and the ending of another. A young Cuban woman completing in vitro fertilization is suddenly jolted into a mission of the opposite nature when her estranged, sickly father asks her to travel from Miami to Portland to euthanize him. She reluctantly allows her all-too-eager mother to join resulting in a newly formed bond between this opposing duo as the trip unveils their individual struggles with trauma and loss. This project is part of a larger body of work that seeks to comment on the persistence of the human spirit, the undeniable humor in its nature, intergenerational divide, religious stigmas, and the complex identities of Cuban Americans." -- Abstract
