During World War II, a hardworking dresser forms a close bond with a former star actor struggling with his fading career while leading a traveling Shakespearean company. Amidst the destruction of the London blitz, their complex relationship develops against the backdrop of Shakespeare's tragedies. The dresser’s unwavering loyalty to his demanding mentor echoes the emotional depth of King Lear, performed nightly. As the troupe faces collapse, the distinction between their lives and the stories they tell becomes increasingly unclear, exposing the vulnerability beneath the world of theater.
