 Rivivi le forti emozioni, la fiera passione e la terribile tragedia del breve ma bruciante amore che sconfigge la morte in questa nuova versione disegnata della storia di Romeo e Giulietta, due dei più famosi protagonisti shakespeariani.
 I due giovani amanti sono pronti a sfidare l’odio delle loro famiglie pur di sposarsi e, con l’aiuto di una servizievole tata e di un frate mescola-intrugli, riescono finalmente a coronare il loro sogno, anche se l’orgoglio, l’autoritarismo e il destino sono dietro l’angolo…
