Romeo and Juliet

Flamboyant and very popular adaptation of the famous Shakespearean tragedy, in which actual teenagers play the leads. Two young lovers, who come from feuding families, desperately wish to stay together. They go to a gentle friar for help, and, in hopes their wedding will end the conflict, he comes up with an ingenious plot to unite them. But when a miscommunication destroys their plans, they make a tragic decision -- a decision that brings peace, but too late to help the lovers themselves.
