Synopsis

When the Dashwoods fall on hard times, their only hope for comfortable lives is through a profitable marriage. Will love make or break their plans?

Elinor Dashwood is a detached, intellectual, and well-spoken young lady. For her, a potential marriage prospect must bring with it assets and income that will permit a life of comfort, happiness, idle leisure, and prestigious address. She is the daughter endowed with good sense.

Marianne Dashwood is an impulsive, romantic, and sentimental young lady. For her, a potential marriage prospect must be handsome, charming, devoted, and romantic. She is the daughter led by sensibility.

When their father dies unexpectedly, Elinor's and Marianne's happy and carefree lives come to an abrupt end. Penniless and pushed out of their home, their best prospect for a happy future is a proper and respectable marriage. However, when both appear to be deserted by the young men they intend to marry, the stage is set for a delicious comedy of manners that reveals as much as it eludes.
