Gaby Moreno x Lamento — Diego contreras

LAMENTO is a poetic and metaphorical reflection on time, memory, the immigrant journey, and the looming impact of climate change, starring Grammy-winning artist Gaby Moreno and actor Tony Revolori.

Set against the surreal, haunting backdrop of an abandoned Guatemalan beach resort slowly reclaimed by the sea and teetering on the edge of disappearance, the film follows Gaby on a poignant journey to rediscover a place from her childhood, now on the brink of destruction.

Accompanied by a local fisherman (Tony Revolori) and a mysterious companion, FINITOR—a flying obsidian rock with a 3D-scanning lens—they strive to capture and immortalize the soul and memory of a life and a land they left behind, before it all fades away.

Inspired by the personal experiences of both Moreno and director Diego Contreras—who left Guatemala at 18 to build their lives in Los Angeles—the film pays tribute to their roots while embracing the pursuit of new horizons in Hollywood and beyond.
