It traces the chance meeting of David (Colin Farrell) and Sarah (Margot Robbie), single strangers, who meet at a mutual friend's wedding.
"It's funny how the most beautiful places make you feel the most alone,' Farrell's character says to Robbie at the wedding, as seen in the trailer.
She replies by saying: 'Maybe it depends on who you are with.'
Both believe they cannot or will not be loved and choose to head on a 'big, bold, and beautiful journey' facilitated through a magical GPS.
After the wedding, David and Sarah, brought together unintentionally by their car's GPS systems, take a road trip down memory lane, accessed through magical doors, where they relive all of their past failed relationships.
The trailer shows both Farrell and Robbie visiting Farrell's high school, in a moment when he told a girl that he loved her but she does not reciprocate.
"It feels just like it felt back then,' Farrell's character says to Robbie. Her character goes back to visit her mother, who she said she misses.
It has been described as a 'funny, fantastical, sweeping adventure' where they get to re-live important moments from their respective pasts.
Audiences will learn how they got to where they are in the present and 'possibly getting a chance to alter their futures'.
The film, which releases in Irish cinemas on September 19, also features American star Kevin Kline and English actress Phoebe Waller-Bridge.
It was written by Seth Reiss, also known for the 2022 movie The Menu, which stars Ralph Fiennes, Anya Taylor Joy and Nicholas Hoult.
The rom-com is directed by Kogonada, who is known for Columbus (2017), After Yang (2021) and Pachinko (2022).
Dubliner Farrell is is just off the back of playing a mobster in HBO's The Penguin which won him the IFTA Award for Lead Actor in a Drama.
He is currently working on psychological thriller The Ballad of a Small Player opposite Tilda Swinton.
Robbie is also starring in gothic psychological drama Wuthering Heights alongside Jacob Elordi, due to be released next year.
