Historical biopic based on Austrian novelist Stefan Zweig's 1935 biography, Maria Stuart. More than 400 years after she was executed by Elizabeth, the Protestant Queen of England, Mary Stuart (played by Camille Rutherford) remains the most enigmatic royal in Britain's history.
Director Thomas Imbach told the Guardian he has tried to represent her as "neither a saintly heroine motivated by Catholicism nor ambitious queen obsessed with power, but as a modern woman, passionate and fragile".
