2/10

Warning: Spoilers
If I hadn't known from the title, I would have no idea who the man in the center of this short film was. All I see is a man in a white dress sitting in something like a throne with a woman and two knights standing next to him. The man seems to be suffering for some reason or at least he keeps whining and moaning to the woman (his wife?). With some imagination you could have probably guessed, he's the King or at least a very high and influential official on the royal court, but that's it. Pretty much nothing happens except what I wrote before and if you see what the likes of Méliès put into 60 seconds, this is a pretty disappointing overall result. Not recommended.
