This is the best romance movie I've seen in quite some time. The beauty of this film is the teasing backstory of the neighbors and friends observing the budding romance between the two principal characters. That the viewer has to read the entire dialog forces them to pay closer attention to the details and watch the body language. Djibril is obviously a decent man with exceptional talent and impeccable integrity; however, he humbled himself for the good of those he loved.
A story of a person working illegally without a path to legal papers would be a mundane story without the mother's wisdom, determination, and intervention. Julie was lonely, miserable, frustrated, and hopeless, but she only realized it when Djibril showed her genuine love. Excellent historical context and realistic development. Do yourself a favor and watch this movie. It will warm your heart and provide medicine to your soul. This story is the ultimate romance movie.
