Rami, a young man who lives with his Lebanese family in Montreal, walks with a debilitating limp. His controlling father, Ziad, insists on making Rami's choices for him. Ziad wants Rami to enroll in business school, but Rami, who is lonely and a bit of a dreamer, doesn't have his heart in it. When a young woman Rami's met online suggests they meet in person, he hatches a plan to pass himself off as Romeo, the businessman persona he assumes online.

Reviews

filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
Paynbob It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
anna_mariag Wow, what a refreshing movie! What carried it to the end effortlessly is its truly original scenario. I doubt anyone will say they've seen something similar. But the greatness of this film is not just its originality (sometimes reinventing the wheel does not guarantee success) but its touching protagonist.We follow him throughout the film, trying to find his voice. This is a discrete movie, that will let you seep into this young man's life and his Lebanese family (set in Montreal). I found that it surprised me with laughs when I least expected them. There were also a lot of moments without dialogue, which gave us the chance to enjoy the beautifully shot scenes.
