First Love is a 2018 Philippine romantic drama film co-produced and directed by Paul Soriano and written by Anjeli Pessumal and Rona Co from Soriano's story concept. Starring Aga Muhlach and Bea Alonzo, the film tells a love story between a photographer and a venture capitalist in the city on Canada's Pacific coast.
Filmed in Vancouver and produced by Ten17P, in participation with ABS-CBN Film Productions and Viva Films, the film was theatrically released in the Philippines on October 17, 2018.[4]
Plot
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.[5][6]
Ali’s infectious charm is too strong for Nick to resist. 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.[7][8]
