First Love is a 2022 American romance film written and directed by A. J. Edwards and starring Diane Kruger, Hero Fiennes Tiffin, Sydney Park and Jeffrey Donovan.

Due to the great economic recession starting in 2008, senior high school student Jim Albright's father Greg loses his bank job.

Discovering he has only 20 minutes to write a paper for a class, Jim holes himself into the school library to finish it.

There, as he is seeking a book, he sees fellow senior Ann on the other side of the bookcase and is captivated.

Taking Ann out of her Spanish class with a false note from a school administrator, Jim confesses he faked the summons so as to talk to her alone.

Greg meets with an employment recruiter across town, while Kay deals with her Aunt Irene's carer challenges.

That night Kay's brother, after bragging about how busy he and his wife are, openly criticizes Greg.

At Ann's birthday party, when playing a dare game, Jim is one of three people tasked to kiss her blindfolded so she can rate them.

Before Jim heads to UCLA, he is told his parents are downsizing as Greg still is unemployed and they cannot get another bank extension.

The film ends with Jim and Ann's simple wedding and reception, with Greg urging them to hold on to their most important moments.
