In this hilarious Afrofuturistic take on the Shakespearean classic comedy of crossed lovers, Viola, long lost from her twin Sebastian, dresses as a boy and works under the Duke Orsino, whom she falls deeply in love with. However, Orsino is in love with the mourning Countess Olivia. Orsino sends Viola to court Olivia for him, but Olivia falls for Viola instead. Sebastian arrives, causing a torrent of mistaken identity, and marries Olivia. Viola then reveals her true identity and marries Orsino.
