Marianne Dashwood openly expresses her feelings, and when she falls in love with the charming but unsuitable John Willoughby, she ignores her sister Elinor's warnings that her reckless behavior exposes her to gossip and innuendo. Meanwhile, Elinor, always sensitive to social conventions, struggles to hide her own romantic disappointment, even from those closest to her. Through their parallel experiences in love and the threat of loss, the sisters learn that reason must be blended with emotional sensitivity if they are to find personal happiness in a society where status and money govern the rules of love.
