After Movies in Chronological Order

After (2019)

After introducing Tessa Young, a high school graduate embarking on her first day at Central Washington University as an undeclared economics major, we see her surrounded by her loving mother, her unconventional yet controlling boyfriend, Carol Young, and her high school sweetheart, Noah Porter. Upon arrival, Tessa is warmly welcomed by Steph Jones, her roommate, and Steph’s girlfriend, Tristan. While Tessa is known for her studious nature, Steph and Tristan are drawn to the party scene. Surprisingly, Tessa finds herself getting along with her new friends and settling into her dormitory.

Steph extends an invitation to Tessa for a frat house party, and though she hesitates, Tessa reluctantly agrees. It’s at this party that she meets the rest of Steph and Tristan’s group, including the enigmatic Hardin Scott, whom she previously encountered in her dorm room. As the night progresses, the group suggests playing Truth or Dare, and Tessa is dared to share a kiss with Hardin. She firmly declines, making her escape from the party, albeit unintentionally wandering around Hardin’s house. A chance encounter ensues between Tessa and Hardin, resulting in a lingering moment before Tessa departs.

Over the next few days, Hardin gradually persuades Tessa to accompany him to a lake house. In this scenic setting, their flirtation deepens, culminating in an underwater kiss. However, their passionate connection proves fleeting, and as the film unfolds, it becomes apparent that Hardin is resistant to the idea of a committed relationship. Heartbroken, Tessa initially distances herself from Hardin, but her resolve softens when she witnesses his emotional outburst at home.

Despite the warnings from her friends to take things slowly with Hardin, Tessa chooses to disregard their advice, continuing her seemingly perfect romance with him. Everyone had always cautioned her about Hardin’s intentions, and while she initially brushes aside their concerns, Hardin, succumbing to peer pressure, eventually confesses that he had dared to make Tessa fall in love with him, ultimately intending to break her heart. It dawns on Tessa that her relationship with Hardin had been built on a foundation of deception.

After spending some time back at home, Tessa returns to college and applies for an internship at Vance Publishing. She immerses herself in her studies and coursework. One day, when she turns in her English essay, her professor discreetly hands her an essay that Hardin had submitted, seemingly intended for her. Later, Tessa and Landon sit on the campus grass. Tessa reads the essay, discovering it to be a heartfelt letter from Hardin expressing his true feelings for her.

After We Collided (2020)

After We Collided kicks off with Hardin lost in a dream of Tessa, only to abruptly wake up, alone in his car, feeling frustrated by Tessa’s lack of response to his texts. As he steps out of the car, a homeless man, desperately searching for someone, unexpectedly approaches him, leading Hardin to dismiss him. Meanwhile, over at Vance Publishing, Tessa embarks on her first day as an enthusiastic intern. However, things take a turn for the worse after an awkward encounter with her new co-worker, Trevor Matthews. Tessa is warmly welcomed by secretary Kimberly, whose romantic interest in the company’s founder, Christian Vance, is revealed.

One eventful night, Tessa joins her co-workers at a nightclub in an attempt to impress a potential investor. However, as the night progresses and the drinks flow freely, things take an unexpectedly steamy turn. From dancing with strangers to an accidental kiss, Tessa, in her inebriated state, gleefully calls Hardin, reveling in the excitement of the moment. Suddenly, Trevor discovers her, and the two retreat to their hotel room. In her tipsy state, Tessa spills wine on Trevor’s attire and, somewhat hazily, asks him to undress so she can tackle the stains. Abruptly, Hardin storms into the room, furious at the sight of a half-naked Trevor, and forcefully escorts him out. Yet, their anger quickly transforms into passion, culminating in an intimate encounter.

However, their brief respite from turmoil is short-lived. Tessa soon grapples with the complex web of her professional life and confronts her true feelings for Hardin. Matters become even more complicated with the arrival of Hardin’s family, as his mother, Trish Daniels, suddenly appears in the States, forming an unlikely friendship with Tessa. Additionally, Tessa embarks on a quest to locate her long-lost father, whose surprising appearance in the film’s climax leaves viewers astounded.

After We Fell (2021)

However, lurking beneath the surface are profound insecurities that continue to haunt them.

His fear of the challenges that a long-distance relationship may bring casts a shadow over their happiness, setting the stage for a series of trials. To complicate matters further, Hardin initially entertains the idea of bringing Tessa to London after their graduation.

Nevertheless, Tessa seizes the opportunity to move to Seattle, a decision that stokes Hardin’s jealousy, particularly given Tessa’s proximity to Trevor. Meanwhile, Tessa grapples with her own set of challenges. She embarks on a quest to reconnect with her estranged father, whom she hasn’t seen in nearly a decade. In a surprising twist, Hardin, initially hesitant and concerned about Tessa’s emotional well-being, unexpectedly finds himself forming a bond with her father as they connect over shared experiences with alcoholism.
