The Winter's Tale
Leontes of Sicilia decides without evidence that his pregnant wife has been unfaithful with his oldest friend, and wrecks his household inside a single act. Sixteen years pass, and the play resumes in Bohemia at a sheep-shearing feast, around a shepherd's foundling daughter. Forgiveness as resurrection.
