action
The story is about the very inexperienced Billy (17 years old) and his friend Nick (19 years old), who have only recently got to know and appreciate each other. One evening, when the two of them are alone in Billy's parents' apartment, they get closer. Suddenly a love kindles out of friendship, but instead of experiencing the happiness of being in love for the first time together, everything turns out differently. After a very short time, the two different views put the relationship to a very hard test. Instead of fighting for themselves, they are doing the exact opposite. Billy clings to Nick, but Nick isn't ready for all of this. Little by little Billy has to realize what is happening to his friend ... There is an immense argument in which both use violence against their own partner. Nick breaks up and now refuses any contact. The former love becomes hate. Their strong feelings for each other let both fall into a deep hole of grief because they do not know how to deal with the new, difficult situation. Billy keeps trying to fight for Nick - to no avail. He's gradually sinking so far that even his best friends don't recognize him. When they both meet again at a party, Billy's previously grown strength to deal with the situation is in dire straits. There is another strong confrontation.
“The First Time - Unconditional Love” focuses on the relationship problems of both boys, the problems of upbringing and dealing with people who are close to you.
