Charli XCX in Erupcja: A Romantic Eruption Unfolds in Warsaw
Charli XCX delivers a magnetic performance in Erupcja, a Polish-set romance from Pete Ohs, hitting theaters April 17.
A new trailer for Erupcja teases Charli XCX stepping into a dramatic lead as Bethany, a woman whose vacation romance turns into a life-changing reckoning. The Polish-set feature from director Pete Ohs runs 71 minutes and is slated for theaters on April 17.
Set against a volcanic eruption that strands Bethany and her fiancé Rob in Warsaw, the film follows Bethany as she questions her baggage and considers rekindling a bond with her childhood friend Nel, who runs a flower shop. The journey takes them through lofts, clubs and back alleys as a tense emotional web forms and self-discovery unfolds.
The cast includes Will Madden as Rob and Lena Góra as Nel. Writers also include the performers, with the script co-created by the ensemble. The film first drew attention at the Toronto International Film Festival, where critics highlighted Charli XCX's magnetic screen presence and the metatextual depth she brings to the role.
Described as a character-driven drama, Erupcja uses the eruption as a catalyst for introspection rather than spectacle. Charli has said the project felt like making an album, a form she knows well, and early responses praise her transition from music to film. Look for Erupcja in theaters on April 17.
