The story

The film, like the play, focuses on Rosencrantz and Guildenstern and their actions (or lack thereof) within the play of Hamlet.

Rosencrantz finds and continually flips a coin which always comes up heads (until he loses the coin, which is replaced by their own coins), causing Guildenstern to conclude that something is wrong with reality.

They are asked by the Danish royal couple to stay awhile in order to help find out the cause of, and hopefully the cure for, Prince Hamlet's gloomy state.
