First Love
Alternative title: Premier amour

Directed by Florent Gouëlou

A drag show in a Parisian bar. The public has eyes only for the queen of the night, Cookie Kunty. But from the back of the room, Baptiste, her boyfriend, may be looking at her for the last time.

Also featured in:

First Love is a tender French gay short film about the intensity, jealousy and uncertainty that accompany a young man’s first serious romantic attachment. Florent Gouëlou gives the relationship warmth without idealising it, allowing insecurity to sit naturally beside desire. The performances keep the drama intimate and recognisable rather than overstated.
