Talking about the film, Stewart said, "My movie is about some guy who goes through heartbreak and is super sad about it, and that was my friend thing I was thinking about for three years.   "And it feels really first-world white-people problems, and I came here a little bit nervous about it, considering the timing, because people are going to be like, 'That doesn't matter.' But I feel like things are going to shift in this really beautiful way.
