The war between the Montagues and the Capulets began in 2014, when the Montagues were taken away. The Capulets have their own territory, the Crimean peninsula. At that time, the Montague son (Romeo) was 4 years old and the Capulet daughter (Juliet) was 3. In 2025, they are 15 and 14, respectively. Now, in 2025, the war between the Montagues and the Capulets has entered its final phase. Romeo Montague meets Juliet at a masquerade ball at the Capulets’ house, dedicated to Juliet’s betrothal to Count Paris, an ally of the Capulets in the war against the aggressor, the Montague clan. Romeo does not know what kind of party he is going to, and his friend Mercutio, a spy, deliberately hides him. If Mercutio is unmasked, he may trade his life for Romeo’s, who does not know that he was brought to this party as a “hostage of love”, nor that the spy Mercutio, or anyone else, knew about it. The love of the Russian Romeo and the Ukrainian Juliet is the only thing that can stop the war between the Montagues and the Capulets.
