Romanzeft is a light Arabic comedy that follows Fahad, a notoriously stingy husband who makes an uncharacteristic attempt to surprise his wife Abeer on her birthday by taking her out for the evening. His grand romantic gesture is almost immediately complicated when he discovers that someone is deliberately trying to prevent them from leaving the house. As Fahad scrambles to balance his natural frugality with the pressure to pull off a memorable birthday, the film builds comic tension around his contradictions.
