Ophelia

This is the story of the rise, development and fall of one kingdom in Denmark. In the fourteenth century, everything was not so different from modern times - rotten politicians who want to come to power, constant intrigues around the throne and everything like that. Against the background of all this, the fate of the charming young lady Ophelia does not seem so significant. It would have been so, if the Danish prince Hamlet had not fallen in love with her. And it's mutual. Peaceful life in the kingdom is interrupted by the death of the king - he was undoubtedly killed. The throne was not taken by Hamlet, although he had every right to do so, but by the impostor King Claudius. Hamlet vowed to avenge his father. Ophelia is the victim of this whole terrible situation: she will either be faithful to her lover and suffer herself, or she will help herself. It will be a difficult choice.
