Set against the vibrant backdrop of Warsaw in summertime, ERUPCJA is a witty, romantic travel adventure about love, chance, and getting wonderfully lost. When Bethany (Charli XCX) sneaks away from the picture-perfect European getaway her devoted boyfriend Rob (Will Madden) has planned - fearing he’s about to propose - she unexpectedly reconnects with Nel (Lena Góra), an old friend who reignites feelings she thought were long buried. As Bethany and Nel are swept into a whirlwind of spontaneous adventures, artistic sparks, and growing attraction across the city, a heartbroken Rob sets off on his own chaotic journey through Warsaw trying to win her back. Funny, charming, and full of wanderlust, ERUPCJA is a fresh and heartfelt comedy-romance about following your heart - wherever it takes you.
