LADIES' SPOTLIGHT FILM & PARTY: Erupcja

In her first starring role, pop icon Charli XCX stars as Bethany, a woman who abruptly derails a romantic vacation in Poland after suspecting her devoted boyfriend, Rob, is about to propose. Breaking from the carefully planned itinerary, Bethany reconnects with an old friend, Nel, and the two spark a quiet yet smoldering chemistry rooted in shared history, poetry, and unspoken desire. As Rob wanders Warsaw searching for answers, the trio confronts the fragile line between destiny and chance. An improvisational postcard romance, Erupcja uses volcanic imagery to mirror its characters’ repressed longings and emotional eruptions.
