Mi iubita, mon amour

4 French girls one of them French-Romanian holiday in Romania and their car gets jacked; then they spend a summer in that country and a love affair ensues; and problems their host family has with a debt incurred to local gangsters is also part of that tapestry

OK so those are the brush-stroked outlines; the colour is provided by the relationships between the girls the friendships also the love affair; the summer fling; and also the father and son debating what to do to placate the gangsters

It has a very nice bitter-sweet rhythm all the way through and although the subject-matter to me was not so gripping the way it was presented was so genuine that it grew on me and got me to the end

Some of it seems like the stitching is not quite there and the scenes bump into each other a touch at times but overall it totally works; this is a heart movie. And effective at that.
