1930s,  probably Budapest…

She Loves Me  concerns the people who work in Maraczek’s Parfumerie, principally the constantly squabbling sales clerk Amalia and the manager Georg. It is soon revealed that Georg and Amalia are anonymous romantic pen pals who agree to meet one night at the Café Imperiale, though neither knows the other’s identity.  Georg realizes who Amalia is when he sees her waiting for him, but he doesn’t let on and the unhappy Amalia pours out her heart in a longing plea to her unknown “Dear Friend”. After she calls in sick, their relationship blossoms into love when Georg apologizes and brings her ice cream; eventually he is emboldened to reveal his identity by quoting from one of her letters.
