King Lear challenges his three daughters to fight for his legacy. He unfairly divides the kingdom and the children go to war with each other until there is nothing left of value. Lear realizes the meaning of genuine love thanks to Cordelia and experiences a redemption, but is it too late to grasp this hard lesson learned?
