Synopsis

(Can’t) Let It Go is a political comedy set in New York on the eve of the 2016 election. The film features five interconnected vignettes all revolving around the lead up to and aftermath of Trump’s surprise victory. (Can’t) Let It Go is the first film to depict the post-election hangover that many New Yorkers had in a humorous way.

At its core, (Can’t) Let It Go is about unique New York characters and their zany personal and political interactions: an African American gay man being paid as a Trump stand in, a Hillary Clinton campaign worker moonlighting as a dominatrix, a blue collar independent looking to start a kosher laundromat, a conservative Cuban émigré and his socialist daughter, a top Trump campaign worker and his apolitical model girlfriend, and a left wing, dog hating activist who yearns to play John Wilkes Booth.

Sinopsis

(Can’t) Let It Go es una comedia política ambientada en Nueva York en vísperas de las elecciones de 2016. La película presenta cinco historias interconectadas que giran en torno a los días previos y posteriores a la inesperada victoria de Trump. (Can’t) Let It Go es la primera película en retratar con humor la resaca postelectoral que vivieron muchos neoyorquinos.

En esencia, (Can’t) Let It Go trata sobre singulares personajes de Nueva York y sus disparatadas interacciones personales y políticas: un hombre afroamericano y gay contratado como doble de Trump; una colaboradora de la campaña de Hillary Clinton que trabaja por las noches como dominatrix; un trabajador independiente de clase obrera que quiere abrir una lavandería kosher; un emigrante cubano conservador y su hija socialista; un alto funcionario de la campaña de Trump y su novia modelo, ajena a la política; y un activista de izquierda que odia a los perros y sueña con interpretar a John Wilkes Booth.
