King Leontes rips his family apart with his jealousy, but grief opens his heart. Will he find the child he abandoned before it is too late? Set across a span of 16 years, from the coronation to the moon landings, this new production of Shakespeare’s play is staged for the screen by the Royal Shakespeare Company and directed by RSC Deputy Artistic Director Erica Whyman.

Sculptured Russian puppets perform the powerful and enchanting story, full of regal and rustic characters. King Leontes's fit of temper results in the death of his wife and his young son, and his baby daughter is banished. Sixteen years later, with the intervention of gods and humbler mortals, a magical ending is crafted.
