A young man must bridge the gap between who he is and who he wants to be in this drama from Canada. Romeo11 is a successful businessman who is handsome, charming, wealthy, and visits some of the most glamorous cities in the world as part of his work. Romeo11 is a frequent visitor to internet chat rooms and social networking sites, where he's been engaging in an ongoing flirtation with an attractive woman known as Malaury26. But Romeo11 doesn't actually exist; he's the creation of Rami (Ali Ammar), a teenager who lives with his family in a Lebanese community in Montreal. Rami walks with a limp from an accident years ago, and his controlling father Ziad (Joseph Bou Nassar), who runs a small diner, insists on making Rami's choices for him. Ziad has decided his son will enroll in business school, but Rami, who is lonely and a bit of a dreamer, doesn't have his heart in it and often skips his community college classes. As Nada (Caline Habib), Rami's older sister and one of his few confidantes, prepares to get married, he begins wondering about what sort of a life he can make for himself, and when Malaury26 insists she wants to meet Romeo11 in person, he hatches a scheme to pass himself off as the character he's invented. Romeo Onze (aka Romeo Eleven) was the first feature film from director Ivan Grbovic.
