Only very few manage to get what they want from life, as the real satisfaction lies in one’s own heart.
In this show, one of the people to gain is Sir, winning against Cocky who represents the mob. They meet to play ‘The Game’ and ‘The Game’ equals life, so it involves issues such as religion, hunger, work, love, death and rebellion. During the whole of the game, Sir is insisting that the upper class keep their position, even if that means constantly changing the rules. Meanwhile, Cocky is so desperate to win, though for each time he looses, the rules tighten.
However, things change when a third party enters the game, because suddenly Cocky becomes as charitable as Sir and eventually wins the round as well. Uplifted, he then challenges Sir again, suggesting a new set of rules, though at last both Sir and Cocky acknowledge that they cannot manage on their own.
