Director: Alauda Ruiz de Azúa
What if a single kiss came with a preview of the rest of your love life? A Spanish comedy built on that premise follows one teenager's very literal case of romantic foresight.
What is Love At First Kiss about?
At sixteen, Javier locks lips with a girl for the first time and gets far more than butterflies: a flash of the future, and with it, a strange gift for seeing exactly how his romantic life will unfold. From that moment on, every kiss hands him another piece of the puzzle, showing him who he will love, lose, and eventually end up with, long before any of it actually happens. The catch is that knowing the ending doesn't make living through the middle any easier, and Javier spends the film caught between chasing what he has already glimpsed and figuring out whether foresight is really the same thing as choice. The result plays out as a coming-of-age romance filtered through a fantastical twist on first love.
Cast & crew
Álvaro Cervantes plays Javier, with Silvia Alonso, Gorka Otxoa, Susana Abaitua, and Pilar Castro filling out the ensemble around him as the people who move in and out of his foreseen future.
Context & significance
Directed by Alauda Ruiz de Azúa, this 2023 Spanish production leans on light fantasy to reframe a familiar teen-romance setup, using the clairvoyance conceit to compress a whole love life into one film's runtime rather than a single summer.
