WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

Estranged friends Cassie (Preston), Kate (Seagrove) and Liz (Phillips) are reunited after the death of their friend Anna (Corr). At the funeral, they learn that Anna’s dying wish was for the three of them, along with Anna’s 17-year-old daughter Maddie (Dormer-Phillips), to travel across Europe and complete a journey they couldn’t quite finish when they were younger. Now in their mid-50s, the women put their differences aside and go on a perilous European adventure to honour their friend’s final wishes…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

Get ready to laugh and lap up the sun in this Euro-centric adventure-comedy about middle-aged female friendship, which not only features the songs of Blondie on the soundtrack, but more poignantly also features the final lead performance of Kelly Preston, who sadly passed away last year.
