The film follows Martin (Nicholas Hoult) and Gabi (Laia Costa), two Los Angelenos who meet on a dating app. Their initial connection is electric, fueled by passion and the thrill of discovery. However, Newness quickly subverts the typical “happily ever after” narrative. Instead, it chronicles the couple’s descent into a cycle of addiction—not to substances, but to the dopamine hit of novelty. When their relationship hits inevitable bumps, they don't fight for it; they open it up, seeking validation and excitement from new partners through the same apps that brought them together.

Starring Nicholas Hoult as Martin and Laia Costa as Gabi, the movie delves into the complexities of a relationship born from a hookup app and the subsequent struggle to maintain emotional depth in a world saturated with options.
