Romantic Problematic

In the bustling heart of New York City, where every corner is filled with both romance and chaos, “Romantic Problematic” tells the story of Emma, a charismatic but commitment-phobic wedding planner, and Jake, a charming but emotionally unavailable artist. Both deeply entrenched in their own troubled pasts, they find themselves navigating the tangled web of love, self-discovery, and the complexities of modern relationships.

Emma has made a name for herself by helping others find their happily-ever-afters, but her own heart remains locked away after a painful breakup that left her skeptical of love. She immerses herself in her work, crafting dream weddings while avoiding the reality of her own romantic shortcomings. Meanwhile, Jake, a free spirit with a talent for creating breathtaking street art, struggles with trust issues stemming from a childhood overshadowed by abandonment. His reluctance to let anyone in manifests as a series of flings, leaving a trail of heartbroken girls who long for something deeper.

When the worlds of Emma and Jake collide at a mutual friend’s wedding, sparks fly—but not the good kind. A humorous misunderstanding leads to an awkward confrontation, setting the stage for a series of encounters filled with tension and unexpected chemistry. As they are forced to collaborate on a community art project for a charity event, Emma and Jake begin to uncover the layers of each other’s insecurities and dreams.

Tension builds as they grapple with their evolving feelings, punctuated by flashbacks to their pasts that reveal the reasons behind their resistance to commitment. The story takes a deeper turn when both must confront their fears: Emma finds herself challenged to open her heart, while Jake must learn to confront his emotional walls.

Supporting characters—Emma’s quirky best friend Tara, who is a hopeless romantic, and Jake’s pessimistic roommate Chris, who is a cynic about love—inject humor and wisdom into their journeys, providing a fresh take on the dating scene.

“Romantic Problematic” explores themes of vulnerability, the fear of intimacy, and the messiness of love, ultimately celebrating the idea that sometimes, the most complicated relationships can lead to the most beautiful revelations.
