Shakespeare-style storytelling meets soccer fan sensibilities in this tale of two Brazilian sweethearts whose families root for rival teams, and the lengths the pair go to in order to keep their love alive. While Romeo and his family are ardent supporters of the Corinthians, Juliet father is the biggest Palmeira fan on the planet. Now, if Romeo can just suppress his urge to root for the Corinthians and convince Juliet's father that he'll be a suitable son-in-law, perhaps these two families will be able to put their bitter rivalry aside long enough to cheer on the committed young couple when their wedding date rolls around.
