Romeo, 17 years old, also has a famous family: he is Réal Lamontagne’s son. His father is accused of committing hideous crimes, including causing the death of a child. However, Juliette cannot help but be attracted by Romeo’s charming magnetism. Even though they come from diametrically opposed worlds, the two teenagers fall in love. Will the numerous obstacles in front of them prevent them from living their fairy tale romance? Romeo & Juliette transcends time, is a contemporary tale of love in modern society where everything has almost become impossible.
