“It’s not up to use to decide which moment is perfect, and which moment isn’t…” So who is it up to then? Amazon has unveiled an official trailer for a romantic drama film titled The Map That Leads To You, ready for streaming on Prime Video in August later this summer. This love story is based on the same book by J.P. Monninger. “A breathtaking novel about love, loss, and the best-laid plans that are meant to be broken.” The film follows Heather, a young woman traveling around Europe with her friends before starting her perfectly planned life. A chance meeting with Jack sparks an unexpected romance which leads to deep emotional discovery. As secrets and life choices test their bond, her path changes forever. It’s “about love, destiny, and the courage to choose your own path.” Starring Madelyn Cline as Heather & KJ Apa as Jack, with Josh Lucas, Madison Thompson, Sofia Wylie, Marilyn Cutts, & Orlando Norman. This film definitely has Before Sunrise/Sunset vibes: meeting him on a train, gallivanting around European cities and falling in love & missing each other. Otherwise still looks like the typical cliche young love story these days.
