A fresh, vibrant, and youthful adaptation of Shakespeare’s “Much Ado About Nothing” is played out in a house of university students, whose party spins out of control.
Hero and Beatrice, cousins and best friends, have very different approaches to love. Beatrice, burned once, is fiercely avoiding her arrogant ex-boyfriend Benedick and has sworn off men in general. Hero, a true romantic, is deeply in love with Benedick’s friend Claudio, but too shy to say it. When they get trapped in a house with the entire boys rugby team, they’ll be forced to face the questions they’d been avoiding all this time.
Using the original dialogue, MUCH ADO delves into the aspects of the Shakespeare classic that are especially relevant today. Refusing to shy away from the tragic elements in the story, the film takes a closer look at the blurred line between the play’s heroes and it’s villains.
