Let’s go on my relationship-seeking vacation!
 
 
 
Romantic encounters no longer happen on crowded planes or trains, but on the dating app “Tinder”!
Jonathan Cohen plays Ben, a nitpicky homebody who graduated from a prestigious university. On his first Tinder date, he meets the adventurous and outgoing party girl Marin (Camille Chamoux). The two instantly click, and after an intense one-night stand, they’re excited to plan a trip abroad together.
Ben had originally planned a luxurious holiday in Biarritz with his family, while Marin had already agreed to join her friends in Beirut, just emerging from conflict. To avoid arguments, they compromise and head to Bulgaria — a destination neither has visited before. However, their clashing ideas of what makes a perfect vacation soon put their budding romance to the test: Ben wants five-star hotels and gourmet meals, while Marin craves authentic local experiences filled with surprises and spontaneity...
Their wildly different values lead to hilarious and outrageous adventures along the way — sometimes perilous, sometimes flirty. Will this trip transform Ben from Tinder hook-up to boyfriend? Can love blossom amid the worst scenery, the most basic guesthouses, and the most mismatched travel companions?
