It is the story of Francisco's worst nightmare. A father who sees how his adolescent and adored daughter Inés is courted by Rogelio, the newly arrived cousin of his sensual neighbor Vanessa. This fact causes Francisco to begin to develop during the day a problem of dissociation from reality (or awake sleep) and sleepwalking at night, where he believes that his daughter has been taken away from him. This situation, together with the doubt about the nature of the relationship he maintains with the neighbor, leads him to madness.

Despite its glaring flaws, First Girl I Loved is not entirely undeserving of a watch. For people who can handle the more difficult aspects of the story and graphic scenes, it is worth looking into. It’s not a film worthy of rewatch, but it may still resonate somewhat with those who need a story like this. It is a genuine, if flimsy attempt at a coming-of-age tale. Were the film to be directed by someone with experiences more similar to Anne, it would likely be more powerful--as it is, it feels like a man’s perspective of what it means to come to terms with your identity as a lesbian.

Clearly, in the end, Allison raised a responsible child because she knew that her "friend" was doing something that made her uncomfortable and turned away from her. No worries, Super mom was already one step ahead of her.
