Not sure: Hard without examining. Recommend seeing a dentist or doctor licensed in your area Here is a link to some images of various mouth diseases for general information - one might be similar to what you have. http://www.mouthhealthy.org/en/what-dental-issues-look-like All the best.

White film: This is not typical and so nothing "pops" into mind as to cause. You need to see a dentist when this is present to tell you exactly what it is and how to avoid, treat or not be concerned about if normal.
