About this film
A surprisingly sexy, darkly funny, emotional rollercoaster.
In this light-and-dark comedy, June and her Persian mom Lela take a trip to the romantic Azores islands for a grief anniversary, with contrasting ways of coping. A charming surfer takes them on a tour as they (and we) surf the waves of life, loss, flirting… an unforgettable ride.
Honeyjoon is for anyone who lives with loss. For anyone who wants to feel free in their body. For anyone who has tried, and failed, to flirt
