King Lear, old and tired, divides his kingdom among his daughters, giving great importance to their protestations of love for him. When Cordelia, youngest and most honest, refuses to idly flatter the old man in return for favour, he banishes her and turns to his remaining daughters for support. But Goneril and Regan have no love for their miserly father and instead plot to take all his power from him. Meanwhile, Lear's loyal courtier Gloucester gives favour to his illegitimate son Edmund after believing callous lies told about his faithful son Edgar. As madness and mortality catch up with the ageing men, betrayals lead to tragedies as fate summons their actions and judges the accountability of all the players.
