Erupcja

This event has passed

Bethany (Charli xcx) has persuaded bf Will (Will Madden) that Warsaw is more exciting than Paris. Will means to propose and Beth knows this, although Will does not know she knows. Warsaw may or may not be more exciting than Paris, but it is home to Beth’s friend Nel (Lena Góra), and Beth believes this may save her. Will doesn’t know about Nel either. Or the volcanos…

Charli’s big screen debut (she shot it before The Moment) is a lo-fi gem. Think Before Sunrise, 2025: young people figuring out love, or failing to, over a transitory weekend of plans unravelling, last minute all-nighters, secrets coming out. On the surface it might seem small. But the earth moves.
