Try Me(2006)

Try Me is a French film about childhood innocence and the promises we make. Nine-year-old Yves-Marie proposes to his classmate Jacqueline with a simple question: "Marry me?" She answers with playful wisdom, promising her hand only if he reaches the stars. What begins as a child's whimsical exchange becomes something more—a tender exploration of how young people navigate affection, ambition, and the gap between what we wish for and what's possible. The film captures the bittersweet magic of growing up, where earnest declarations meet gentle deflection, and where a pirouette can say more than words ever could.
