It all begins when Hermia and Lysander flee deep into the forest to
escape Hermia's father, Egeus, who wishes Hermia to marry Demetrius.
Demetrius himself bicycles into the woods to follow his true love
Hermia. Demetrius is soon followed by yet another desperate lover:
Helena, who adores Demetrius but finds her affections dreadfully
unrequited. Crashing and flailing, and falling into mud puddles, the
foursome find themselves near the secret home of the fairies, where
water nymphs and satyrs party
into the night at the fairy bars and cafes. Chaos ensues when the
trickster Puck (Stanley Tucci) administers a secret love potion-causing
the lovers to mix-and-match with outrageous results. Meanwhile, a band
of actors come to the same woods to put on a play-a play that is
interrupted when its star actor Bottom becomes a strange pawn in the
love battles between Oberon, King of the Fairies, and Titania his Queen.
