The Tempest


In this Shakespearean fantastical thriller, the sorceress Prospera (switched from the original Prospero) orchestrates spirits, monsters, a grief-stricken king, a wise old councillor, two treacherous brothers and a storm at sea into a fantastical journey filled with banishment, sorcery and betrayal. The shipwreck catapults the collision of two hapless lovers, who stir their budding emotions, and eventually seal their fate. See the official movie site here.
