In terms of theft, Gina got dumped like a poor thing. Her best friend then advises her to sleep with the first comer, just to regain some self-esteem. And the first comer is Félicien, a mechanic in Villetaneuse, originally from Martinique, with whom she had argued a few hours before about a tire story…

Who is it with?
After Le Nom des Gens and La Lutte des classes, Michel Leclerc and Baya Kasmi are back with Le Premier Venu, a TV movie they wrote as a duo. To camp Gina, the production decided to call on Claire Keim.
The actress, whom we recently saw in Aims for the heart and A difficult year, gives here the reply to Makita Samba, whose face is perhaps not unknown to you since he was nominated for the César for best male hope for his role in Les Olympiades by Jacques Audiard. He plays for the occasion Félicien, a mechanic who will capsize the heart of the heroine.
For his part, Pierre Arditi slips into the skin of Gina’s father, while Marie-Armelle Deguy (Grilled chickens) plays her mother. Laurent Capelluto (Zone Blanche) plays the fiancé and Baya Kasmi, the best friend. Mohamed Seddiki and Seyna Kane complete the cast.
It’s worth checking out ?
To free herself from the desires of her father, a wealthy industrialist specializing in pepper, Gina earns her living as a second-class presenter for a channel specializing in horse racing and is about to marry a boring college professor. .
But when her fiancé leaves her just days before their wedding, the young woman puts her life in question. On the advice of her best friend, she decides to sleep with the first comer, who turns out to be her mechanic, a bit of a hustler. But what should only be a one-night stand will have an impact on Gina’s life. Who will she choose?
Adapted from the Israeli series Love Hurts, The First Comer is a pleasant romantic and social comedy, which is mainly based on the talent of its main actors who manage without difficulty to combine dramatic moment and humor.
Claire Keim, who, lately, had mostly accustomed us to much more dramatic roles, is perfect in the skin of this ingenuous young woman who sees her life change completely.
Makita Samba, the interpreter of Félicien who will capsize Gina’s heart, is also excellent in the skin of a nonchalant mechanic and anti-relationship of couples, who will, in spite of himself, be dragged into the life of the presenter . Despite some lengths, The first comer remains an excellent surprise that will delight fans of the genre, who will appreciate an evening of respite from the many detective fictions of the channel.
