Review

Director Sergei Potapov presents the experimental film “King Lear”. The film was attended by residents of a boarding house for the elderly and disabled.

Young director Dmitry dreams of staging a Shakespearean play at a boarding house, but cannot decide on the choice of the main character – King Lear. At this time, a new guest appears at the boarding house – Alexey, abandoned by his granddaughters, whose fate is intertwined with the fate of Shakespeare’s Lear.
