"17.2. 2019 Romeo Montague meets Juliet Capulet at a ball and it's love at first sight. However, their feuding families don't accept their relationship which leads to series of tragic events. Tybalt, a dumb and violent member of the Capulet family, kills Romeo's friend Mercutio which upsets Romeo. Romeo avenges Mercutio's death by killing Tybalt and after that Romeo is declared an outlaw. Everybody should be familiar with this story but how many people nowadays are actually familiar with it? No"
