Relying on their experience watching main-stream films, 10 young amateurs participate in a script-writing workshop. They try to write a satirical romantic comedy based on their personal experiences, while criticizing the reoccurring stereotypes in mass culture. The film intertwines three different storylines and types of footage: documentary footage capturing the creative process and the discussions that took place during the workshop meetings; documentary footage capturing the daily lives of the participants outside the workshop setting; and fiction scenes extracted from the script, that was written as a result of the workshop, and performed by the participants themselves.

The workshop started on December 3^rd 2010. Unexpectedly, a revolution erupts a little over a month later to become the backdrop of all events. What was meant to be a 3 months long workshop extended over the course of a year due to interruptions because of the political turmoil.

Between December 2010 and January 2012, Film Romancy indirectly documents the first year following the Egyptian 25^th of January revolution through the eyes and minds of 10 young characters who, 10 years later, get together again in order to perform and film the script they wrote in 2011.
