| Description | This version is based on a 2007 script by Australians Neil Armfield and Geoffrey Rush. For 400 years King Berenger conquered his enemies, building a vast kingdom with millions of subjects. He even controlled the weather. But Father Time catches up with everyone. Now his kingdom is crumbling, his vast armies have gone, all that is left is less than a thousand elderly subjects. Even the palace washing machine has been pawned. In Berenger's collapsing world there is no future in the future. His Royal Highness must bow to Father Time, but he is having none of it. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
