" Speech a King" tells the untold story of the father of the current Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom who suffered a very pronounced stutter, which totally paralyzed when it came to speak in public.
Being the 2nd son of King Albert was not destined to the throne. His elder brother, King Edward VIII to marry Wallis Simpson wishing, an American divorcee 2 times already and love he felt for her being stronger than his duties as ruler, decided to abdicate. And Albert became king as George VI in 1937.
The film focuses on a particular aspect of history: how George VI, with the support of his wife, Elizabeth, and using a non-standard speech ( and without degrees), Lionel Logue, manage to fight his stuttering to meet its obligations especially royal and overcome his disability during the numerous public speeches and radio that his job required him to do.
