Charli xcx Stars in Pete Ohs’ Erupcja, Opening April 17

Posted on by

Charli xcx heads to the big screen this spring with Erupcja, a new anti-romantic comedy from filmmaker Pete Ohs, opening April 17 in New York and Los Angeles.

The film follows Bethany (Charli xcx), whose vacation in Warsaw takes an unexpected turn after a volcanic eruption strands her abroad. What begins as a disruption quickly becomes a turning point, as she reconnects with a childhood friend (Lena Góra) and drifts through the city’s nightlife, rethinking her relationship and sense of self.

Directed, written, and produced by Ohs, Erupcja leans into a loose, intimate style, blending romance with a more offbeat, introspective edge. The film also stars Will Madden and Jeremy O. Harris, with Harris and Góra co-writing alongside Ohs and Charli xcx.

With its mix of emotional unraveling and spontaneous connection, Erupcja positions itself as a different kind of love story—one more interested in uncertainty than resolution.
