Well, there are two bigwig families feuding.
Their kids meet at a masquerade, decide it's love
at first sight, but their familial situation prevents
marriage. Romeo's best friend gets killed defending him,
so Romeo kills Tybalt (the guy who killed his friend.). He
retreats in exile, meanwhile the fair Juliet is scheduled to
marry some jerk of her father's choosing. To get out of the
wedding, she obtains a potion that will put her in a death-like
state for a couple days. Ideally, she will then be put in the
family tomb, Romeo will be told of her actions, will come to
the tomb, and they will elope. However Romeo never gets the
real message- he only hears of her death, goes to her grave
and takes his life. Juliet wakes up, sees Romeo dead, and
kills herself.
Is that better?
Seriously though, watch a film if you have to.
They can really help. Although I don't know about this
recent one...
