Marianne and Elinor Dashwood, after a great loss, are forced to radically change their lives, to be deprived of all comforts, and to seek security through marriage. Their mission should be one: to find well-off husbands.
Marianne, the younger sister, "represents" sensitivity. She falls in love with all her being with the charming but unsuitable and unreliable John Willoughby. Unable to tame her emotions, she disregards social norms. She even ignores her sister's warning that her behavior gives people a reason to gossip about her. Where will her explosive character lead her?
At the same time, Elinor is rational and mature. She always follows social conventions, but now she is forced to make an effort to hide - even from her closest people - her own emotional disappointment. But for how long will she suppress her true feelings?
In an era where social class and economic status govern the rules of love, the two sisters will carve their own path to personal happiness.
