Each story is dedicated to one of the city's arrondissements (districts). The film is in French, English, Spanish, Arabic and Mandarin with English subtitles.

"We hope that with the screening of 'Paris Je T'aime,' audience members will witness the unique portrayal of various cultural contexts as well as Paris' districts and tourist attractions," said Ableeva. "The ethnic, religious and social diversity of France, as depicted in the film, will provide a great opportunity to compare the audience's own cultural realities with those shown in the film." This film is rated R and contains content that may be inappropriate for children.
