Summary: Identical mixed-sex twins, separated during a shipwreck, both believe the other dead. When Viola dresses as her 'dead' brother for better protection, little does she realise that her living brother will be on the scene as well. Based on the William Shakespeare play, adapted for the screen by Trevor Nunn.

Trevor Nunn's version of William Shakespeare's classic comedy revolves around Viola, a young woman who disguises herself as a man to work as a page in the court of Count Orsino. Orsino is hopelessly in love with a woman named Olivia, and soon Viola finds herself hopelessly in love with Orsino. But Orsino thinks she's a man, and her predicament worsens when she realizes that Olivia has fallen in love with her. Nunn's film sets the play in the 19th Century and brings out both the ebullient and the melancholy aspects of Shakespeare's story.
