When the Capulets and the Montegues find out that their children are alive, they are so happy that they decide not to fight anymore and support the love relationship between Romeo and Juliet.

However, their love is still hindered by the war in Gaza City, where the Israelis and Palenistians are fighting.

Romeo decides to organize a meeting to promote peace between the two peoples. The guests, sitting, just like the medieval knights of the Round Table, at the negotiating table, watch the photos of the prisoners of both armies. At first it seems strange but looking at the prisoners' faces, they see the same eyes, the same tears, the same sadness,... the same hopes to come back home and hug their families. What a shame! They realize, despite their differences, they could live together in the same beautiful land. Romeo and Juliet's story becomes the symbol of eternal love and peace!

Under the war ruins a child, Romeo's friend, finds the wounded dove and the letter written by Jacques Bérès, and gives it to Romeo. Just a few seconds before drinking the poison, Romeo reads the letter. A little bit later Juliet wakes up. Happy to see again, they hug each other, but the guys' joy is darkned by the events in Gaza City: the two armies are fighting and lots of people are dying. They must stop them! What can they do? War is not a game for teens! They think and think, and suddenly they imagine the olive fields of their childhood, and soldiers, bombs, tanks disappear and new young trees grow in never-ending lines.

Meanwhile, the leaders of the two states, who were the two young guys' parents, and their relatives reached them, and after their moving speech about the olive fields, they realized their mistakes, the atrocity of war, and how much important their love was for everyone.

Romeo goes to Juliet's tomb and after a while she wakes up and is frightened of the bombs falling on the City. They realize it is time to talk about their secret marriage and to show that love wins over hate.

They ask a journalist to be interviewed to reveal their union. They are encouraged to post their photos and videos on social media. They fear that everyone could be shocked and hate them, but people from Israel and Palestine are inspired by them. Something in people's hearts changes and lots of young belonging to different religions, cultures and languages fall in love and have a lot of children. War stops and love wins!

P. S. The power of good news! :)

Romeo and Juliet decided to flee away from Gaza City, in search of a place where they could start a new chapter in their lives together. Fate led them to a distant land in the Middle East.

In the tomb the two guys hug and kiss. Juliet, who is a very practical and strong-willed girl, has a plan: she wants to use their huge number of followers on TikTok to start their political careers. At first on their social profiles they receive a lot of "likes", but then she is able to talk to the leaders of the Israeli and Palestinian governments. They make videos about the lives of the two peoples in Gaza City showing the sorrow for the death of their families and friends, their lack of food, unequal distribution of resources, the destruction of houses. The political leaders are so impressed that they decide not to fight any more. Juliet and Romeo are the first activists and politicians to create a party with Israeli and Palestinian supporters. Their logo is a white dove and their motto is "Peace for all"!

Romeo and Juliet do not meet in the tomb, but they wake up in Juliet's room after their wedding night. They had the same nightmare about Mercutio's and Tybalt's deaths; they are so impressed by what is happening in Gaza, thousands of people are dying, others are suffering from starvation and poverty, that they decide to talk to their parents. They reveal their marriage to their families, who are moved by their love and agree to end the feud. Their words are appreciated by everyone; their families and the peoples of Gaza decide to stop fighting and to live in peace.

While Romeo was about to drink the poison, the wounded dove entered the tomb.

Romeo: Oh, no, no, no, wait...What is it…?

A dove? How is it possible?

This is the house of crows… Wait...there is a letter…

It says that Juliet is not dead! She’s just sleeping!

She drank a potion…she is seemingly dead.

Romeo holds Juliet.

Romeo: Oh, my love, my life, you are not dead!

Juliet opens her eyes.

Juliet: Oh Romeo, our love has won over hatred!

They kiss and promise eternal love.

Meanwhile, the two families, Jacques Bérès and António Guterres have a meeting.

The Capulets: Let’s toast to love and friendship among our peoples!

The Montegues: Let’s toast to love and friendship!

Jacques Bérès: A sweet peace this morning with it brings.
The sun for joy will show his head.

On this prosperous day

The olive shall bear freely,

And our peace shall stand as firm as rocky mountains.
We wish we had everywhere stories of hope like this of Juliet and her Romeo.

António Guterres: Humanity is strongest when we stand together.

2024 must be a year for rebuilding trust and restoring hope.
