After her father's dukedom is usurped by his younger brother, Rosalind searches for her exiled father in the mythical Forest of Arden, accompanied by her cousin and the court jester. Disguised as a boy for safety, she encounters the young Orlando who is also banished. After instantly falling in love with him at court, she holds up her boyish charade and tutors him in the ways of love. As two cultures clash, the nobles mix with the rustics and romance abounds in Shakespeare's take on pastoral love stories.
