Before diving into a New York banking career, Heather (Madelyn Cline) stops for a European adventure with her girlfriends—what could go wrong?
On an overnight train, she meets Jack (KJ Apa), a charming New Zealander who’s retracing his great-grandfather’s World War II travel journal.

Their instant spark leads them past Barcelona’s cable cars, bull runs in Pamplona, and hidden gems across Spain and Portugal. But Jack’s hiding a heartbreaking secret… and Heather might be headed home alone.
Directed by Lasse Hallström, this glossy YA rom-drama looks like a big-screen escape—lush visuals and sweeping European scenery make it feel like Eat Pray Love meets Before Sunset... if only the romance went deeper.

Many critics found it visually stunning but emotionally thin, with dialogue that borders on cliché and a romance that drifts past realism.
Some voices, however, appreciated the film’s grounded tone and natural chemistry between its leads.
One reviewer called it “a brisk, beautiful movie”—simple, heartfelt, and emotionally bittersweet, exactly enough to linger after the credits
