Hamlet/Horatio begins on an empty sound stage with the loss of life of Hamlet. The motion transpires in his final second of consciousness because the hero of Shakespeare's most well-known play watches his life flash earlier than him whereas his soul transcends all earthly battle. Hamlet/Horatio is instructed from the attitude of Hamlet's closest pal and confidante, Horatio, who takes on the function of movie director with the intention to fulfill his promise to dying Hamlet of telling the story of Hamlet's life in order that the world will know of Hamlet's tragic sacrifice.
