King Lear

No Japão medieval, um velho senhor da guerra se aposenta, entregando seu império a seus três filhos. No entanto, ele subestima amplamente como o novo poder irá corrompê-los. O senhor de guerra japonês Hidetori Ichimonji decide que chegou o momento de se aposentar e dividir seu feudo entre seus três filhos. Seus filhos mai velho e do meio, Taro e Jiro, concordam com sua decisão e prometem apoiá-lo nos dias restantes de aposentadoria. O filho mais novo, Saburo, discorda de todos eles argumentando que há pouca probabilidade dos três irmãos permanecerem unidos. Insultado pela impaciência de seu filho caçula, o senhor da guerra o expulsa. Quando o senhor da guerra começa sua aposentadoria, ele rapidamente percebe que seus dois filhos mais velhos são egoístas e não têm intenção de cumprir suas promessas. Isso leva à guerra e só o banido Saburo pode salvá-lo.

A modern take on William Shakespeare's King Lear.

When England's aging King Lear renounces his throne to divide his kingdom among his three daughters, treachery, madness and murder soon follow. After banishing Cordelia, his most loyal daughter, Lear is betrayed and cast out by her elder sisters Regan and Goneril. Meanwhile, evil brews at the Gloucester castle as Edgar falls victim to his brother's deception. As battle lines are drawn and backs are stabbed, Lear rages against a fearsome storm. Can a man undo his wrongs? Will Cordelia be saved? Or will the wheels of fate crush all in its way?

An old king, stepping down from the throne, disinherits his favorite daughter on a mad whim and gives his kingdom to his two older daughters, both of whom prove treacherous.

Based on the play by William Shakespeare.
