Palm Springs

In the sun‑splashed desert town of Palm Springs, a weekend wedding becomes the backdrop for a story that teeters between bright‑eyed comedy and quiet existential wonder. The heat‑soaked resorts, endless poolside chatter, and the ever‑present backdrop of rugged mountains create a world that feels both leisurely and oddly suspended, as if time itself might be taking a holiday.

​Nyles arrives with his girlfriend ​Misty for the celebration of their friends ​Tala and ​Abe. While the ceremony promises the typical mix of heartfelt toasts and awkward family dynamics, the atmosphere hints at something stranger beneath the surface—a sense that the day refuses to move forward in the usual way. The film’s tone is buoyant yet introspective, letting humor flow through surreal moments while quietly asking what it means to be truly alive when the clock seems to reset.

Enter ​Sarah, a guest whose own uncertainties mirror ​Nyles’s growing restlessness. Their unlikely connection provides both comic sparring and a deeper, more tender exploration of how people cope when ordinary expectations dissolve. As the sun sets and rises again over the same desert horizon, the duo finds themselves caught in a loop that forces them to reconsider priorities, confront hidden anxieties, and search for a thread of meaning amid the repetitive rhythm.

The movie balances witty dialogue, vibrant visuals, and a laid‑back soundtrack with a subtle, almost philosophical undercurrent. It invites viewers to wonder whether the answer lies in embracing the absurd, finding unexpected companionship, or simply learning to savor each repeatable sunrise in a place where every moment feels both familiar and freshly possible.
