Gnomeo & Juliet - House Divided
The shared house is divided by Montague and Capulet, the town home owners who hate each other. Though both share a love for gardening and ceramic gnomes, their shared hatred pushes a need to outdo the other.
On the red side of the house, the maritime signal flags actually spell the homeowner's name, CAPULET.
