action
Cymbeline, drug lord and leader of a motorcycle gang, intends to marry his daughter Imogen, who comes from a previous relationship, to Cloten, the son of his new wife Queen. Imogen, on the other hand, fell in love with Posthumus, whom her father raised like his own son. Cymbeline has two other sons, Arviragus and Guiderius, but they were kidnapped at an early age and have not been seen since. After Imogen falls in love with Posthumus, she marries him without telling her father about it. When he hears about it, he banishes Posthumus from his home and family. Posthumus takes on a wager with his friend Iachimo, who claims he can seduce his wife Imogen. When Iachimo returns with falsified evidence to fake his win, Posthumus instructs Pisanio to kill his wife. Queen tries to take the opportunity to push the emotionally weakened Cymbeline out of his position and put her son Cloten in his place. At the same time, a feud also arises between Cymbeline and Iachimo, who also intends to dispute his place for him.
