Myrsini Aristidou’s sparkling Sundance winner Hold Onto Me follows free-spirited 11-year-old Iris, who is running wild through the streets of Cyprus when she learns her estranged father, Aris, is back in town for his own father’s funeral. Determined to know him, whether he wants to or not, Iris tracks him down. What begins as a stubborn attempt to reconnect slowly unfolds into a fragile bond, imperfect, yet poignant.
