Romeo is unhappy because he loves Rosaline who does not love him back. At a feast, he meets Juliet and instantly falls in love with her, only to discover she is the daughter of his family's enemy, the Capulets.

Romeo and Juliet meet at a Capulet feast that Romeo attends in disguise. They exchange romantic words and a kiss, not knowing each other's family names until later. They quickly fall deeply in love.

Romeo and Juliet face the obstacle that their families, the Montagues and Capulets, are bitter enemies who are always fighting. If their families discover their love, it could mean death for one or both of them.
