An enigmatic young woman in conflict - torn between reason and passion; between her woman's body and being raised as a prince; between the ancient and modern worlds and between the brilliance of her educated mind and the conservative forces around her. Crowned Queen at the age of six, Kristina of Sweden was thrust into a labyrinth of power and tradition, where a court of austere, Lutheran men pressure her to marry and produce an heir to fulfill her destiny. She finds sanctuary and love with her lady-in-waiting, the beautiful and elegant, countess Ebba Sparre, although the Chancellor, Axel Oxenstierna, pressures her to pair with his son, Johan. Soon the forces around the Queen realize that Ebba is the key to controlling her, but they underestimate Kristina's brilliant mind and her drive to be free. (officiële tekst van distribiteur)

A fine historical film that primarily offers what the genre actually claims. By that I mean some history. Even though the film tries hard to appear fresh, modern, and gritty, it's not really like that, and it's a standard spectacle that could easily be aired on television because there's nothing particularly shocking about it. ()
Apparently, the Finns wanted revenge on the Swedish royal family over the centuries of enslavement and made a deliberately bad film about one of the famous figures in Swedish royal history. Because I can't explain such a bad movie in terms of the story, the environment, the actors (except Nyqvist) and especially the dialogues in any other way. ()
