Filming is expected to have already kicked off, with the production split between Barcelona, Spain, and Louisiana in the United States. Per Louisiana Entertainment, the movie “will be filming mid-October to early November in New Orleans.”

“Free-spirited Poppy and routine-loving Alex have been unlikely best friends for a decade, living in different cities but spending every summer vacation together. The careful balance of their friendship is put to the test when they begin to question what has been obvious to everyone else — could they actually be the perfect romantic match?” reads the official synopsis for the movie.
