LUV in the Projects in Bloomington, MN

Tarim is a bold, outspoken young hustla who diligently lives by the code of the streets. Lyla is a fiery, sassy young girl brought up with morals from around the way. For Tarim, women are nothing but play things, bust-downs who are to be used not cherished. He sees giving them love as weakness, a danger in a game he plays to survive. For Lyla, most men are just opportunists, out for what they can get from a girl. They then become a stumbling block for the promising future which lies ahead. A chance encounter on a hot summer day when distrust and violence have just reached a peak, sending them flying into each other's arms, and just might shift their narrow-minded views.
