\"Every summer for nearly a decade, free-spirited Poppy and buttoned-up Alex embark on a travel adventure, but after years of not speaking, one fateful trip brings them back together to confront their unspoken feelings for one another,\" the film's official synopsis reads.

The teaser shows snippets of Poppy and Alex exploring new destinations and finding their close friendship possibly shifting into something more. In fact, a person they meet on vacation asks them if they are in a relationship.

\"Oh no, we're just friends,\" Poppy and Alex say simultaneously, with Poppy adding, \"Platonic travel companions.\"
