Description: In Passing is a 2020 romantic drama film that tells the story of a melancholic young musician who falls in love with a French actress while in New Zealand. As their relationship unfolds, he is compelled to confront reality before moving forward with his life. Written and directed by Joshua Prendeville, the film features a talented cast, including Arlo Green and Lydia Bensky, alongside Layla Robinson, Ella Gilbert, and Mataara Stokes. Set and filmed entirely in Auckland, New Zealand, the movie showcases the city’s urban landscapes and the breathtaking vistas of the West Coast.
