Sinopsis

Varado en un desierto africano, un autobús con once pasajeros se protege del calor entre las ruinas de un pueblo abandonado. Cuando la posibilidad de ser rescatados va disminuyendo día a día, y crece la ansiedad, surge la idea de montar una obra de teatro. Sin embargo, la elección de "El rey Lear", de shakespeare, sólo les produce confusión, al tiempo que luchan para reprimir tanto la cólera que los invade como el miedo a la muerte. En medio de esta situación, surgen en ellos agudas tensiones emocionales y sexuales. Una vez eliminadas todas las inhibiciones, su único objetivo será sobrevivir.

Anonymous
Inglaterra Isabelina, siglo XVI. El film plantea una cuestión que, durante siglos, han debatido académicos y grandes escritores desde Mark Twain y Charles Dickens hasta Henry James y Sigmund Freud: ¿quién fue el autor de las obras de teatro atribuidas tradicionalmente a William Shakespeare? Se han escrito muchos libros y se han barajado muchas hipótesis al respecto, entre ellas la que ofrece Anonymous. La Inglaterra Isabelina fue un época de intrigas, de amoríos cortesanos ilícitos, de conspiraciones promovidas por una nobleza ávida de poder; y todo ello quedaba reflejado en el lugar más inesperado: el teatro londinense.
