Bonsoir. Albert is the son of George V (the guy from the metro station on line 1). He also stutters, which is a real problem for anyone who has to speak in public and flaunt their authority. Albert desperately tries to correct this annoying flaw, without success. Then he will meet Lionel Logue (Geoffrey Rush) a speech therapist with unorthodox methods found in the Yellow Pages. The latter will unblock Bertie thanks to learned pronunciation techniques but above all thanks to real listening and psychology work.
When King George dies and his son Edward (Guy Pearce) walks away, it is his brother Albert who finds himself catapulted to power in spite of himself.
