SheΒ LovesΒ MeΒ is a touching musical comedy classic about findingΒ true love like they did in the good oleβ days (courting, dating, before facebook and tinder). It follows Georg (Levi) and Amalia (Benanti), two parfumerie clerks who are oceans apart from being best of friends. They constantly bump heads while on the job, and the two characters struggle to find common ground. The twist, however, is that they are each others anonymous romantic pen pals and have been falling for each other, unknowingly all along. Will their relationship blossom once their identities are truly revealed?
