Mira, a children’s book author and illustrator, is head over heels in love with her boyfriend, John. The couple is smitten, and John’s days away from proposing — but then he dies in a tragic accident. Beside herself with grief, Mira goes home to her parents house to recover. Two years later, she moves back to NYC to start over again. She’s still too distraught to do much of anything, until she receives sage advice from a widower: Talk to him like he’s still here. So she starts texting John’s old phone — but the phone number’s already been given to someone else. On the other end of the texts is Rob, heartbroken after his girlfriend left him days before their wedding. He’s been forced by his boss to get a company phone just as he’s set to work on a project with the iconic singer Céline Dion. When he receives Mira’s texts, he fails to mention she’s got the wrong number and starts catching feelings.
Yes. It’s based on Sofie Cramer’s 2009 novel, Text for You, which was made into the German movie SMS für Dich in 2016.
The movie takes place in New York City.
