Erupcja

When her boyfriend Rob whisks her away to Warsaw, Bethany (Charli xcx) suspects he’s about to propose. He’s perfectly nice but is that enough? Uncertain, Bethany abandons Rob’s carefully laid itinerary and seeks out old friend/flame Nel (Lena Góra), a Polish florist. The pair share an explosive past – every time they meet, a volcano erupts somewhere in the world. Shot on the fly during Brat summer and written in collaboration between director Pete Ohs and the lead cast, Erupcja has an irresistibly spontaneous energy. Amplified by the star power of Charli xcx, who brings her party-girl persona and a convincing, stripped-back naturalism to the role, it’s a relatably chaotic study of disrupted destiny.
