Synopsis

Summer 2015. Sandra meets a Californian boy at university in Barcelona, and when the semester ends and he flies home, she does something she has never done before: books her first solo long-haul flight to go see him, straight into his family's house, for a month.

They break up by Christmas, which surprises nobody except possibly the two of them. It doesn't matter. Somewhere over the Atlantic she'd worked out the important part: she could just get on a plane and go. She never really stopped.

What the Critics Say

The romance is forgettable; the boarding pass isn't. A debut that only thinks it's a love story.

Golden light, doomed couple, respectable runtime. Doesn't overstay the visa.

Fine

Her first long-haul flight. Not her last.
