anew the dramatic world of Sense and Sensibility. The happy and carefree childhood of sisters
Elinor and Marianne Dashwood comes to an abrupt end with the death of their father. The family
is suddenly penniless and pushed out of their home leaving the two young ladies with one sole
hope: a good marriage. After moving into the cottage of a remote relative the spirited
Marianne falls in love much too quickly. In the meantime the more intellectual Elinor sees her
chances for a happy marriage fade when she discovers the man for whom she's fallen is already
engaged. Sense and Sensibility is the story of two dissimilar sisters fighting for their
happiness in the face of the strict social conventions of early eighteenth-century England.
