A reclusive novelist (Laura Dern) arrives at a prestigious writer's retreat in Morocco, hoping the remote setting will unlock her writer's block. While there, she meets a young man (Liam Hemsworth) — what starts as an acquaintanceship evolves into an intoxicating, life-altering love affair. Directed by Susannah Grant and produced by Liza Chasin, Lonely Planet premieres October 11, only on Netflix.

00:00Welcome to the writer's retreat.
00:07Think if I just took the smallest room, I could skip all the group activities.
00:13I just need a quiet place to work.
00:16Oh, hey.
00:20I'm Owen.
00:24Catherine.
00:25You having a great trip?
00:26It's fine, I guess.
00:28Do you like fiction or non-fiction?
00:31Neither.
00:32I'm just here with my girlfriend.
00:34She only reads Sports Illustrated.
00:38Why'd you fly thousands of miles?
00:40I'm finishing a book.
00:42How's it going?
00:45Fine, I guess.
00:50I don't know who you are here.
00:53Are you threatened by this?
00:55Are you serious?
00:58How come you can't finish your book at home?
01:00Long story.
01:02I've got time.
01:04I think the point of travel was to show us the tiny place we occupy in the world.
01:09How does your guy deal with all this?
01:11Who said I had a guy?
01:13Wikipedia.
01:14Oh, right, of course.
01:21You followed me yesterday.
01:23I just wanted to make sure you were safe.
01:26Am I?
01:33When you're stuck in life, you need to do something irrevocable.
01:49Careful there.
