Long ago, there was a kind Duke who was unfairly kicked out of his own Dukedom by his mean younger brother, Frederick. The Duke had a lovely daughter named Rosalind, who was allowed to stay at the court with her cousin Celia, Frederick's daughter, because they were best friends.
One day, Frederick became angry with Rosalind for being so loved by everyone and banished her too! Celia, being a true friend, decided to go with Rosalind. To travel safely, Rosalind dressed up as a boy and called herself Ganymede, and Celia disguised herself as a country girl named Aliena. They went to live in a large forest called the Forest of Arden.
In the forest, they found the good Duke living with his loyal friends, enjoying a simple life close to nature. Many other interesting people also lived in the forest, including a wise but gloomy man named Jaques.
Meanwhile, a brave and handsome young nobleman named Orlando was also forced to flee into the Forest of Arden because his older brother, Oliver, was treating him cruelly. In the forest, Orlando wandered about, feeling sad and writing love poems to Rosalind, whom he had met and fallen in love with before he had to leave the court. He would hang these poems on trees.
When Rosalind (disguised as Ganymede) and Celia (as Aliena) came across these poems, Rosalind recognized that they were about her! Soon after, Orlando met "Ganymede" in the forest. Not knowing it was Rosalind in disguise, Orlando asked "Ganymede" for help with his love for Rosalind. Rosalind, pretending to be wise in the ways of love, offered to pretend to be Rosalind so that Orlando could practice talking to her. This led to many funny and sweet conversations between them.
At the same time, other people in the forest were finding love. Celia (as Aliena) met and fell in love with Orlando's mean brother, Oliver, who had also come to the forest and had a change of heart, becoming a better person. A funny shepherd named Silvius was desperately in love with a proud shepherdess named Phoebe, who in turn fell in love with the disguised Rosalind (Ganymede)! This made for a bit of a confusing love square.
Finally, Rosalind decided it was time to reveal her true identity. With the help of a wise magician, she arranged for everyone to meet together. Orlando was overjoyed to see that his "Ganymede" was actually Rosalind, the girl he loved. Oliver and Celia confessed their love for each other. And Rosalind cleverly managed to make Phoebe realize that she truly loved Silvius.
In the end, there were four happy couples: Rosalind and Orlando, Celia and Oliver, Phoebe and Silvius, and even two funny country folk, Audrey and Touchstone, got married. Duke Frederick, who had been mean, also came to the forest and decided to give up his power and return the Dukedom to his kind brother. Everyone celebrated with a big feast in the forest before returning to their rightful places, full of joy and love.

In the forest, they encounter Rosalind's father and his loyal followers, enjoying a simple life. They also meet Orlando, a young nobleman fleeing his cruel older brother, Oliver. Orlando is in love with Rosalind and expresses his feelings by hanging love poems on trees. Rosalind, in her disguise as Ganymede, playfully offers to "cure" Orlando of his love by having him practice wooing her as if she were Rosalind, leading to comedic and tender interactions.
The forest also becomes a place for other characters to find love. Celia (as Aliena) falls in love with the reformed Oliver. A shepherd named Silvius is infatuated with Phoebe, who, in a twist, becomes enamored with the disguised Ganymede (Rosalind).
