Richard III

What do you do when you inadvertently get caught up in political intrigue, especially in 15th century England? For God and the king - but against your own morals? The only choice is between a successful career with a monster as your boss or execution. The motto is: don't lose your head!

Richard, Earl of Gloucester (Michael Pink) wants to become king. And as is still the case today, the battle for power is fought on the backs of the common people. William Forrest (Michael Niavarani) and Fredrick Dighton (Bernhard Murg), a cobbler and a cook, are supposed to help the unscrupulous, power-hungry Richard succeed. No sooner have the two penniless men been hired by Richard than they find themselves in the Tower of London and an adventure begins for Forrest and Dighton that they would never have dared to dream of.
