Before We Go

About This Movie

Directed by Jorge Léon, it features three individuals nearing the end of their lives who engage deeply with artists across disciplines—choreographers, actors, and musicians. What makes this film distinctive is its exploration of the human condition through an immersive experience of music, dance, and silence. The pacing feels almost meditative, allowing viewers to reflect on fragility and mortality. There’s this raw honesty in the performances that draws you in, creating a palpable tension between reality and representation.
