HERE LIES OUR TEMPEST

Prospero, here reimagined as an ancient Japanese king, has lost his kingship due to the schemings of his brother Antonio and the new king Alonso. Banished alongside his young daughter Miranda, he eventually arrives at an island, and takes power over it through defeating the reigning witch-spirit Sycorax. Learning that his usurpers are at sea, Prospero maroons their ship upon his island and begins to plot his revenge. Here Lies Our Tempest is a dark fantasy adaptation of Shakespeare’s final masterpiece The Tempest. Set in ancient Japan, it conveys its story in a rich tapestry of sound and cinematographic visual — all without a single line of dialogue.
