About

The action takes place in a ruined world, where the feud between the Montague and Capulet families has turned into a bloodbath. Romeo and Juliet meet in the chaos, their love a flash of light in the darkness. But the surrounding violence leaves them no chance, because love in a world where cruelty prevails is doomed, although it remains the only glimmer of humanity.
