Shakespeare's classic comedy of unrequited love, mistaken identities, and fairy potions is given new life in the setting of turn-of-the-19th-century Tuscany amid the invention of the bicycle. As the lovers sort out their confusion, nearby in the same woods, a group of actors finds their play interrupted when the starring player becomes involved in a love battle between the King and Queen of the Fairies.
