Synopsis

Ubu, instigated by his wife, murders King Venceslau
and usurps the throne of Poland. Intoxicated by power,
this grotesque and coward character conducts his
reign in an absurd and cruel way, leading his kingdom
to ruin. A cinematographic adaptation of Alfred Jarry’s
play, a political satire that, cyclically, turns to the reality
of world politics.
