Fresh off its role in the Billboard 100 hit "I Took A Pill In Ibiza," the island in the Mediterranean Sea has another gig: It's starring in the Netflix film Ibiza, which arrives on the streaming site on May 25. The first trailer for Ibiza arrives today, and you can watch it exclusively on Refinery29. The film, written by Lauryn Kahn and directed by Alex Richanbach, is a tale of a work trip gone horribly awry. Or wonderful, depending on your perspective. Gillian Jacobs (Netflix's Love) stars as Harper, a can-kicking employee who's never been on a work trip. Ibiza documents her first trip, which takes her to... not Ibiza.

Harper goes to Barcelona, where a "big meeting" lies in wait. Her two best friends, Leah (Phoebe Robinson) and Nikki (Vanessa Bayer) join, because why not? It's Barcelona. In Barcelona, she meets a handsome DJ (Richard Madden, the erstwhile Rob Stark on Game of Thrones). This DJ is, according to one character, a "proper artist." Harper has the traditional meet-cute, but then, her DJ-in-shining-armor leaves for greener pastures. What's a girl to do but chase the DJ of her dreams all the way to Ibiza, land of EDM?
"This is destiny," Leah points out in the trailer, acting as the voice of reason. "Some people land on the moon. Others cure diseases. You smash this DJ."
Ibiza is Richanbach's second feature film. He also wrote, directed, produced, and starred in the 2013 comedy We Are Young. He and Kahn are frequent collaborators, having met at the website Funny or Die, where they were both staff writers. This is also Kahn's first feature.
