Synopsis
A drama group is awaiting the premiere of Shakespeare’s drama “Romeo & Juliet”. There are housewives, stage actors, asylum seekers, students and musicians from 12 different countries, who have made it their mission to amalgamate Shakespeare’s language and humour with their cross-cultural observations of everyday life. Completely forthright interviews are combined with absurd rehearsal situations and the production. And so protagonists are bringing Shakespeare extremely close to social reality.
