First Love
On Netflix
A tender, melancholic miniseries about the gap between youthful passion and adult loss, structured around the memory of a transformative first love.
Young, free and madly in love. As teenagers, the world was their oyster—but, as adults, their lives seem dimmer, like a very important piece is missing.
