"Charli XCX is falling deeper and deeper into her movie star career, and now it's finally erupted in her first leading role that's not playing herself. In the first trailer for , she stars as Bethany, a woman who seems unsure of her upcoming engagement to her boyfriend, Rob (Will Madden), while on vacation in Poland. But when a volcano erupts and their flight home is canceled, Bethany reconnects with her childhood friend Nel (Lena Góra), who, every time they get together, "a volcano erupts," metaphorically speaking."
""We like to joke that we're making it happen," Bethany says. "What's the joke? Volcanoes kill people," a friend (Jeremy O. Harris) points out. But their antics seem more than just besties cruising around town, there's a palpable romantic tension in the air, and the trailer is possibly teasing an actual explosion in Bethany's relationship as Rob gets iced out more and more."
Charli XCX stars as Bethany in ERUPCJA, portraying a woman uncertain about an upcoming engagement to her boyfriend Rob while vacationing in Poland. A volcanic eruption cancels their flight home and prompts Bethany to reconnect with childhood friend Nel, whose reunions with Bethany are jokingly linked to volcanoes.
