“In this fresh, big-hearted take on the classic coming-of-age fable, free-spirited teenager Elliott (Stella) encounters her wisecracking 39-year-old future self (Plaza)—and can’t escape her influence,” reads the synopsis. “On the cusp of leaving home for college, Elliott is determined to have one last summer packed with good times and girl-crushes. To celebrate her 18th birthday, she boats off to a remote island with her best friends to trip on mushrooms. But just when Elliott thinks she’s not feeling a thing, she suddenly finds herself chatting with a woman who claims to be her literal ‘old ass’—the person she is apparently destined to become in two decades. Prodded for advice, Elliott’s future self gives her one major warning: avoid anyone named Chad, which sounds easy enough. But when Elliott meets the very Chad (White) she was supposed to dodge, things get complicated. Elliott starts to open herself to what her future self might have to show her…and vice versa.”
