📖 A troubled teenager's awakening

Ricard is a shy, introverted teenager who spends hours locked in his family garage, enduring a daily life he experiences as hostile, exclusionary, and depressing. His routine is broken when he stumbles upon William Shakespeare's King Richard III.

Finding striking parallels between Gloucester and his own life, Ricard becomes obsessed with the character, adopting him as a role model and resorting to manipulation and violence to rewrite his own path. Front-row spectators witness his transformation while pondering society and education's role in such struggles.
