The Idea of Being with You, the film adaptation of Robinne Lee's 2017 book of the same name, explores a poignant, contemporary love story. Anne Hathaway stars as Solène, a single mother who, against all odds, falls in love with Hayes Campbell, played by Nicholas Galitzine, the handsome young lead singer of the popular band August Moon. The chance meeting between Solène and Hayes occurs in an unexpected context, when she accompanies her teenage daughter to the Coachella festival, a task she took on after her ex-boyfriend dropped out.
The romance that ensues between Solène and Hayes is as passionate as it is improbable, marked by the challenges of Hayes' celebrity. Their affair, though fervent, is quickly tested by the realities of public life and the demands of Hayes' superstar status.
The film marks Michael Showalter 's return to the SXSW Film Festival, after his first appearance six years ago, where he presented and received praise for works such as Hello My Name is Doris (2015) and The Big Sick (2017). The Idea of Being with You is a dramatic-romantic comedy about the complexities of modern relationships.
The Idea of Being With You promises to be a refreshingly contemporary exploration of love and the unique challenges and opportunities presented by relationships in the age of celebrity. With an exclusive release on Prime Video on May 2, 2024, this film is ready to capture the hearts and imaginations of viewers around the world.
The trailer also reveals the first single from the soundtrack, Dance Before We Walk, and promises a soundtrack as captivating as the film itself.
