Synopsis
Shakespeare’s tragedy Richard III retold: two noble houses, the Arab families of York and Lancaster, bring the war that has been raging for years on the streets of Berlin into the courtroom. Rashida, the youngest daughter of the House of York, is a lawyer who ends the long-running gang conflict with a bloody attack on the heads of the Lancaster clan. Peace at last! But as a woman, Rashida is just a pawn in this world of men. As soon as the fighting ceases, she is condemned to obedience. A sister, yes. A daughter, of course. But she will never be queen. Rashida, however, does not intend to obey; she intends to rule. To claim the crown, she must scheme, seduce enemies and kill lovers. But then, at the height of her power, the violence of a very different war catches up with her as she is catapulted back into her damaged psyche by memories of a childhood scarred by bombs. A garden of loneliness and destruction — the mirror of a wounded soul.
