The King and his three lords, Berowne, Longaville, and Dumaine, swear a public oath to scholarship, including a criterion--staying away from women for three years. Their faith faces with a great challenge when Princess of France and her three lovely attendants, Rosaline, Maria, Katherine visit Navarre. While trying to act like sticking to their oath, the four men have been deeply crushed by their unexpected visitors. Would these four men abide by their principles? Or surrender to human desire to court their love? With the companions of Don Armado, a fantastical Spaniard who fall love with his detainee, Jaquenetta; Costard, a messenger between the lovers; Sir Nathaniel, Holofernes, curate and schoolmaster who serve as commentators on the exchanged letters, and other royal servants of the two countries, what would the fate of these three couples move forward? With the opening of curtains, a romantic adventure has just begun.
