JJ+E
Available on Netflix
John-John (Mustapha Aarab) and his friend Sluggo (Jonay Pineda Skallak) take a man's motorboat out for a joyride at the start of JJ+E, and they see a girl potentially drowning. John-John dives into the water to save the girl, who it turns out comes from a very wealthy family. When the girl's dad (Magnus Krepper) invites the boys back to his house to say thank you, John-John meets attractive older daughter Elisabeth (Elsa Ohrn). Meanwhile, Sluggo memorizes the house's security code and convinces John-John and their gang from the projects to sneak back in and rob the house over the weekend. John-John doesn't feel right about this, or other shenanigans the gang partakes in, but he goes along with them. It seems like he'll finally have an "out" from the projects when he gets into a fancy drama school across town. On the first day of class, he sees Elisabeth. The two launch a friendship and eventually a romance that will inevitably have to confront their barriers of class, race, and family.
