Elsa Says Watch This Movie

Lila Says is a 2004 french film that I fell I fell in love with, much like how the main character falls in love with Lila. Chimo, is a 19 year old self proclaimed loser living in an Arab ghetto with his mother in post 9/11 France; he turns down an opportunity to study free of charge at a writing school for teenagers. Lila is a beautiful blonde 16 year old that lives in the same town. They have an unspoken love that reminds me of Jim and Pam, from The Office. There is so much more story but I don't want to spoil it. It really is a simple love story with a raw and emotional ending, so go rent or buy Lila Says.
