Hallmark is all set to drop another rom-com this weekend. The love story in A Splash of Love can be attributed to the leads' shared fascination with whales.
Directed by Heather Hawthorn-Doyle and written by Juliana Wimbles, A Splash of Love revolves around Chloe, who is halfway through her PhD in marine mammalogy at Miami’s top university. She is considering applying for a highly sought-after scholarship that would fund the last two years of her doctorate.
Her mentor encourages her to go beyond their local waters and convinces her to study the whales in the Pacific Northwest which will help her gain more experience. During her trip, Chloe meets a whale-watching tour guide named Ben, and the two soon find themselves bonding deeply.
Benjamin Hollingsworth states about the movie:
"I think it’s a perfect summer movie. It’s about embracing nature and finding love in simple places. It’s a simple love story about two people connecting over a certain passion."
