Young Prince Henry enjoyed a carefree life alongside the prankster Falstaff and other friends, until his father, Henry IV, died. After that, Henry V became king and decisively took over the governance of the country.

He is convinced that he is destined to conquer France and win the heart of Princess Catherine. At the same time, the writer Alexandra Marinina offers an exciting study of historical events, explaining why powerful rulers, even after winning on the battlefield, are defeated by their own demons. The main witness and expert in this study is the great William Shakespeare.
