By Sarah Mills BERLIN, Feb 20 (Reuters) - It's Rare that a Saudi Arabian film is shown at a major film festival, but Mahmoud Sabbagh's "Barakah yoqabil Barakah" (Barakah Meets Barakah) has given Berlin a lighthearted look at the challenges of romance in the desert kingdom. Screened in the Forum section of the Berlinale, outside the main competition, the director's debut feature was billed as a romantic comedy, though this is **t how he describes it. "I like to call my film a coming-of-age story rather than romantic comedy," Sabbagh told Reuters in an interview.
