Ok need help with a movie title?

Question

I think it was called Aimee. It was about a white girl who i think was abducted by a man and sold to a rich muslum. She then became another woman in his harem. She despised him initially but fell in love with him by the end. I think she had a son to him as well. I'm pretty sure the man died in the end. It's no blockbuster but i thought it was good. I hope someone can help. I have already tried looking on the internet. I can't for the life of me think of just one actor out of it. Grrrrr.
