The film centers around a wedding that brings Alex Nilsen (Tom Blyth) and Poppy Wright (Emily Bader) back together after a traditional summer trip \u2014 they take one every year \u2014 ended in a falling out between them.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\t\u201cIt was \u2018Clean\u2019 [Taylor\u2019s Version],\u201d author Henry reminded Haley during an interview ahead of the film\u2019s arrival in December. \u201cBut we aren\u2019t made of money.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tHenry agreed that \u201cAugust\u201d fit the scene.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\t\u201c[Poppy\u2019s] exact fear is, \u2018I\u2019m not actually the one.

We even, on set, were playing it during that sequence, so that the steady-cam operator could time it up,\u201d Haley added. \u201cAugust being summer. That was very particularly designed to that song. I remember my music supervisor being like, \u2018Please don\u2019t use it on set if you have to, because I don\u2019t know that we\u2019ll be able to get it.\u2019 I was manifesting it and Taylor, thankfully, was so kind to us.
