If "People We Meet on Vacation" Made You Emotional, This Is Why
If "People We Meet on Vacation" left you with that quiet, aching feeling you couldn’t quite name, it’s because the film isn’t really about love or travel, but about the versions of ourselves we grieve without realizing it.
“On vacation, you can be anyone you want. You can do anything you want. You can spend an entire day at the beach. Nothing but the warm sun on your face and clear skies above. Or being on vacation transports you into another version of yourself. Because on vacation, you strike up conversations with fellow travelers. You’re more outgoing, more confident. No, you know what it is? On vacation, you’re free. Free to nourish your soul. Free to follow your heart.” – Poppy Wright in the opening monologue of People We Meet on Vacation
