People We Meet on Vacation (2026)

Starring: Emily Bader as Poppy, Tom Blyth as Alex
Genre: Romantic Comedy, Drama

Two best friends. One trip every year.
For a decade, Poppy and Alex have kept their bond alive through an annual tradition—vacations together. But the trips aren’t just about exploring new places; they’re a way of navigating the space between them, filled with laughter, missed opportunities, and unspoken truths.

Poppy (Emily Bader) is the free spirit, always chasing the next adventure, the next thrill, the next escape. Her life is a whirlwind of spontaneity, and she loves every moment of it. Alex (Tom Blyth), her best friend, is the opposite—grounded, quiet, and steady. He craves peace, the comfort of routine, and the certainty of what he knows. Where Poppy runs toward the unknown, Alex retreats into what feels safe.

But over the years, their friendship has evolved. While their vacations bring them closer, they also keep them apart. The laughter hides the deeper emotions neither of them has been brave enough to confront. They’ve shared moments of joy, of connection—but never the truth of how they really feel about each other.

One final trip, though, brings everything into focus. Surrounded by the familiar comfort of old haunts, the walls between them begin to crumble. As they take on new adventures, it becomes clear that love waits not just in the big moments but in the shared memories, the quiet conversations, and the stolen glances they’ve been hiding from each other for so long.

People We Meet on Vacation is a beautifully woven tale of love, friendship, and the realization that sometimes, the right person has been beside you all along—if only you dared to see them.

“The best trips are the ones that change you—not the places you go, but the people you meet along the way.”
