<div><STRONG>Georg and Amalia are two feuding clerks in a European parfumerie during the 1930's who secretly find solace in their anonymous romantic pen pals, little knowing their respective correspondents are none other than each other. Funny, intelligent, honest and sentimental, SHE LOVES ME is a warm romantic comedy with an endearing innocence and a touch of old world elegance and nostalgia, yet as universal and relevant as ever in this age of internet romances.<br>
</STRONG>
<div class=p1><STRONG>SHE LOVES ME showcases a small but strong ensemble cast playing a range of memorable characters of all ages. </STRONG></div>
