William Shakespeare V is dining at a hotel in Nyon, Switzerland. Nearby, Don Leallo, a mafia boss, is talking about sharing his fortune with his three daughters. As William listens, he realizes that they are King Lear and Cordelia, two men who competed for power and virtue, and he is inspired to create his own version of "King Lear," a masterpiece created by his ancestors.
