When 18-year-old Eduardo leaves his small town for Guadalajara to take a university entrance exam, the city opens up to him in unexpected ways. In just one day, chance meetings and unfamiliar feelings blur the line between innocence and awakening.

The Last First Time (El fin de las primeras veces) is a tender, emotionally charged coming-of-age journey that captures that dizzying first taste of freedom, the rush of fleeting connections, and the bittersweet beauty of growing up.

Screening in-person only.

ARTIST BIO
Rafael Ruíz Espejo

Rafael Ruiz Espejo is a graduate in Audiovisual Arts from the University of Guadalajara. “My wish is to tell stories about sexual and gender diversity, without self-censorship. I make films so that the LGBTQIA+ community feel represented on screen, in all their brilliant moments but also in their contradictions.”
