A Coachella love story. Anne Hathaway plays a mom who falls for a boy bander in The Idea of You, premiering Thursday (May 2) on Prime Video.

Based on the bestselling novel, The Idea of You centers on Solène (Hathaway), a 40-year-old mother, who sparks a romance with Hayes Campbell (Nicholas Galitzine), the 24-year-old lead singer of the “hottest boy band on the planet” August Moon. The pair first meet at Coachella and find their way back to each other after the festival, but Hayes’ “superstar status poses unavoidable challenges to their relationship,” according to the film description.

The Idea of You is directed by Michael Showalter. Douglas S. Jones, Jason Babiszewski, Jennifer Westfeldt and Kian Gass are executive producers. The film is produced by Kathy Schulman, Gabrielle Union, Hathaway, Robinne Lee, Eric Hayes, Showalter and Jordana Mollick.

To celebrate the new movie, jewelry brand Local Eclectic released The Idea of You Gold Charm ($120). Shop it here.
