What is Sparks about?

Sparks follows a group of aimless but spirited teenage best friends, known as the Crop, living in a Nevada city near a reservoir rumored to be a time portal. Their lives get a jolt when Cleo, played by Elsie Fisher, moves to town with a singular goal: to use the portal to travel to 1960s Paris. This coming-of-age drama explores their friendships, the allure of the unknown, and the yearning for something more than their current reality. The film blends 90s nostalgia with a fantastical premise, centering on Cleo's determined quest and its impact on her new friends, including Odette, Antoine, and Max.
