Go to the full screening

Abandoned queen fights back from exile to topple her treacherous king.

King Arthur casts his pregnant wife Duchess Eleanor into a savage storm, choosing his mistress over the mother of his heir. Presumed dead in the woods, Eleanor instead harnesses her will to survive. She returns not as a supplicant but as a strategist, methodically severing the king's military alliances and dragging his concealed atrocities into public view. Her campaign forces the dissolution of their marriage and the collapse of his rule. The narrative traces a woman discarded by power who learns to wield it more ruthlessly than the man who threw her away.

Motifs

  1. Wilderness survival against odds
  2. Systematic dismantling of authority
