First Love is a 2018 Philippine romantic drama film co-produced and directed by Paul Soriano from a story he wrote and adapted into a screenplay by Anjeli Pessumal and Rona Co. Starring Aga Muhlach and Bea Alonzo, the film tells a love story between a photographer and a venture capitalist in the city in Canada's Pacific coast.
Filmed in Vancouver and produced by Ten17P, in participation with Star Cinema and Viva Films, the film was theatrically released in the Philippines on October 17, 2018..[3]
Ali (Bea Alonzo) is an impulsive photographer who savors every moment of her life. Nick (Aga Muhlach), is a venture capitalist, who accidentally meets Ali in a bookshop where Ali works. The two strangers bump into each other underneath the shop’s doorway and, in slo-mo fashion, they connect on a deep, romantic level that doesn’t quite reach you.[4] [5]
Ali’s infectious charm is too strong for Nick to resist though. She is full of life and lives each day like it’s her last, quite literally because Ali has a grave heart condition. Soon, their chance encounter turns into something deeper, something worth risking heartbreak for.[6] [7]
