and Sensibility" concentrates on the loves and heartaches of
sisters Elinor and Marianne Dashwood. The two have extremely
divergent approaches to life: Elinor believes in behaving
with propriety and thoughtfulness, while Marianne virtually
basks in her own emotions. But both women experience the same
sense of confusion when their lovers, seemingly on the verge
of proposing marriage, suddenly get called away to London --
followed by the swift departure of another of Marianne's
suitors. So when the Dashwood family receives an invitation
to the capital, they gladly accept. The truths the sisters
uncover during their visit cause complications, calamities,
and surprises... and teach Elinor and Marianne some hard
lessons they'll never forget.
