attentions but with her father determined that she join a convent,
this handsome and charming stranger offers her the chance of a
different life. Soon though, Rosaline begins to doubt all that
Romeo has told her. She breaks off the match, only for Romeo's gaze
to turn towards her cousin, thirteen-year-old Juliet. Gradually
