The Girl King

A biographical film set in 17th century Sweden, "The Girl King" tells the story of Kristina, a brilliant and extravagant queen who, from age six, fights against conservative forces that oppose her vision to modernize her country. Caught between national duty and a personal affair, she navigates forbidden love, sexism, and gender roles, all while struggling with madness and unrequited longing, in this powerful portrait of one of history's most fascinating women.
