Synopsis:
In Never like the first time! four different people tell us, in their own words, what it was like to lose their virginity. The diverse experiences recounted in the four different animated stories, some tragic and some comic, are told by both the teenagers and the old people that appear in the stories and they all have one thing in common – it is ”never like the first time!” The people behind the voices remain anonymous and they explain sincerely how significant losing their virginity was to them.
