English Summary:

The King's Speech is a 2011 historical drama film directed by Tom Hooper and written by David Seidler. Colin Firth plays the future King George VI who, to cope with a stammer, sees Lionel Logue, an Australian speech and language therapist played by Geoffrey Rush. The men become friends as they work together, and after his brother abdicates the throne, the new king relies on Logue to help him make his first wartime radio broadcast on Britain's declaration of war on Germany in 1939. 

At the official closing of the British Empire Exhibition at Wembley Stadium, Prince Albert, Duke of York, the second son of King George V, addresses the crowd with a strong stammer. His search for treatment has been discouraging, but his wife, Elizabeth, persuades him to see the Australian-born Lionel Logue, a non-medically trained Harley Street speech defects therapist. "Bertie", as he is called by his family, believes the first session is not going well, but Lionel, who insists that all his patients address him as such, has his potential client recite Hamlet's "To be, or not to be" soliloquy while hearing classical music played on a pair of headphones. Bertie is frustrated at the experiment but Lionel gives him the acetate recording that he has made of the reading as a souvenir.

Hungarian Summary:

A film VI. György király - aki II. Erzsébet királynő édesapja - történetét meséli el. Miután bátyja, VIII. Eduárd lemond, György vonakodva foglalja el a trónt. Különös probléma sújtja őt: meglehetősen dadog, ezért retteg a nyilvános szereplésektől. Beszédhibájának legyőzéséhez elfogadja egy beszédterapeuta (mai szóval logopédus), Lionel Logue segítségét. A specialista szokatlan módszereinek, valamint a két férfi között kialakult különös barátságnak köszönhetően György önmagára talál, olyannyira, hogy végül bátran vezeti országát, Nagy-Britanniát a II. világháború zavaros időszakában.
