In the sprawling, digitally-connected landscape of Los Angeles, two young people navigate the paradox of infinite choice and profound loneliness. Martin, a pharmacy technician played by Nicholas Hoult, and Gabi, a physical therapist portrayed by Laia Costa, meet on a dating app designed for effortless, commitment-free encounters. What begins as a casual connection quickly deepens into an intense and passionate relationship, offering a respite from the endless scroll of potential partners. Directed by Drake Doremus, this intimate drama explores the modern complexities of love and fidelity as Martin and Gabi attempt to build something real in a culture that glorifies the next new thing. Their bond is tested by temptations both online and off, forcing them to confront whether their desire for stability can coexist with their ingrained pursuit of novelty. With raw performances and an atmospheric tone, the film paints a poignant portrait of a generation seeking authentic connection in an age of curated profiles and disposable intimacy.
