But their newfound stability is upended by the arrival of Lee鈥檚 charismatic brother, Julius [Elordi], a wayward gambler with a secret past. A dangerous love triangle quickly forms.聽
鈥淲hen Julius takes off in search of the young card cheat he鈥檚 fallen for [Calva], Muriel鈥檚 longing for something more propels her into a secret life of her own, gambling on racehorses and exploring a love she never dreamed possible.鈥�
‘Wonderfully Queer’
In an interview with Variety, Calva, who plays Julius鈥檚 love interest Henry, teased 鈥減retty hot scenes鈥� in On Swift Horses.
Speaking about the 鈥渟teamy sexual chemistry鈥� between the two characters Elordi shared, in a September 2024 interview, 鈥淲e had a week of intensive [prep] in the motel room, and [Minahan] gave us a lot of freedom to run around and to play and to find that love within those four walls.鈥�
He described the movie as 鈥渁 sprawling, epic, nongeneric love story鈥攁nd I think that theme is entirely universal for every single person on the planet.鈥�
