The first time

THE FIRST TIME

Dir. Ander Santamaría Canento

Sinopsis

The First Time is not the typical romantic comedy. It tells us the story of Casto and María, two young virgins who feel the social pressure of losing their virginity. Our protagonists meet at a party and end up in a room having sex or, rather, trying to. Far from being the ideal rom-com, this short-film portrays a first time in a raw and realistic way

They start to get intimate, but then soon realize that it is not going to be as incredible as they expected. They pretend to know what they are doing to avoid the embarrassment of what the other might think, but this is useless. After some clumsy attempts at touching, kissing and blowjobs, the sex ends up being a disaster.

Finally, the situation becomes extremely uncomfortable which leads them to stop and confess their virginity to each other. They decide to embrace that inexperience and start from scratch to get to know each other better, this time in a sincere way.

Dir. Roberto De La Muela

Sinopsis

One argument in Stuart Mill’s Utilitarianism is that if a truth is not intended to do good or cause harm to other people it is better not to be told. Four friends hold their friendship under this idea and even with a great deal of trust, they lack the communication necessary to deal with their problems. A night of partying involving a carousel will end up bringing out the truth along with the wildest side of four friends.
