2. Measure for Measure

His city caught in a moral free fall, the Duke of Vienna hands over power to his personnel assistant, Angelo, who enforces long dormant codes of chastity with zealous fervor. But when an aspiring nun, Isabella, comes to plead for the life of her condemned brother, Angelo gives in to his own unholy desires and exposes the political and moral corruption that pollutes the entire city. The Duke, disguised as a friar, secretly watches the citys turmoil and attempts to fix the challenges his departure created.
