What is People We Meet on Vacation about?

Poppy and Alex are best friends who couldn't be more different: she's a spontaneous free spirit, he's a meticulously planned homebody. For a decade, they've shared an annual summer vacation, but two years ago, a trip went horribly wrong, leaving them estranged. Now, Poppy convinces Alex to take one last summer getaway to hopefully mend their fractured friendship. The film follows their journey to rekindle their bond while flashing back to their previous adventures, exploring the lingering question of whether their friendship could evolve into something more.
