Synopsis

King Lear decides to divide his kingdom amongst his three daughters. The oldest two daughters fawn insincerely over their father, and get most of his possessions. The youngest daughter, Cordelia, is much less lavish in her displays of affection, and disappoints her father. But events soon lead the old king to find out how each of his daughters really feels about him. —IMDb

Still managing to evoke the grandeur of the play, which reflects very well on the actors. Commendably fleshed-out within scenes while still only a quarter of an hour long overall, not to mention there being some wild colour blocking going on too.
