L'Esquive

Sweeping the César awards in its native France, this delightful wrong-side-of-the-tracks romance between extrovert blonde Lydia and shyly inarticulate Krimo sees him joining an amateur production of a Marivaux romantic farce in order to get closer to her - though the elegant society depicted in the play might as well be on a different planet from their largely Muslim Parisian housing estate.
