"Finding Emily is a warm, hilarious, and utterly clever romantic comedy that shines with a witty story and standout performances. The script weaves excellent commentary on contemporary social norms, using its university setting to create humour from the innocent missteps of a young man looking for love.

The romantic comedy tells the story of a lovesick musician (Owen, played by Spike Fearn) who when given the wrong number for his dream girl is determined to find her. When he discovers a different girl by the same name instead (Emily, played by Angourie Rice), she offers to help him find the real Emily he’s searching for. In doing so, they spark a hilarious campus-wide frenzy at a Manchester university that tests their hearts and ambitions along the way."

Sixteen-year-old Cassie is all bravado and vulnerability, drifting into risky territory as she searches for belonging. Her mother Maxine, 52, is a formidable single parent and filmmaker on the brink of a long-awaited breakthrough, finally offered a greenlight—if she can land a star. Holding everything together is Huia, Cassie’s grandmother, 80, whose life has been defined by quiet service to family and a private obsession with raising monarch caterpillars, dreaming of one day witnessing the legendary butterfly migration in Mexico.
